In another exclusive just for

and the Great Hammer wielding Dwarf Hammerer. Look for more career details and
game system information in upcoming newsletters.
| The
Goblin Shaman
"Sticks 'n' stones'll
break my bones, but Gork and Mork'll smash yer 'ead to bits if'n you don't sod
off you big bugger!"
- Gahzbag, Goblin
Shaman telling off a Giant

| The
Dwarf Hammerer
"Take a rock, say as
tall as a dwarf, and roll it down a mountain side. Now imagine it with a beard
and a hammer, and you've almost got the idea of a Hammerer."
- Johondor, Dwarf
Storyteller

This month's featured
zone is Black Fire Pass, home to the legendary Bugman's Brewery.
Black Fire Pass has been the site of
many battles throughout the course of history, but none were as significant as
the first which was fought there. At Black Fire Pass, a great force of Dwarfs
led by King Kurgan Ironbeard joined with a human army under the command of a
young hero named Sigmar to confront and ultimately destroy a great horde of
greenskins. Following the battle, King Ironbeard swore a great oath that for
all time, the Dwarfs would safeguard the eastern mountain approaches to the
lands of men. In the following year, Sigmar was made the first Emperor, uniting
the scattered tribes of humans under one banner.

The ancient and
bitter conflict between the Dark Elves and their hated kin, the High Elves is
very much at the heart of the Age of Reckoning. It is the Witch King Malekith's
obsession with reclaiming the throne of Ulthuan - a birthright denied him by
weak-blooded High Elves a millennia ago - that sets in motion the events that
engulf the lands in the flames of war.
The Assault on Lothern
By Paul Dainton
This is the final painting commissioned
by EA Mythic to illustrate the events leading up to the Age of Reckoning. This
painting details the Dark Elf invasion of Ulthuan and their attack on the
capital city of Lothern. Along the shores of Eataine, a battle rages between a
High Elf Dragon Prince and a Dark Elf Cold One Knight as Witch Elves and
Corsairs rush to join the fray.
The Making of "The Assault on Lothern"
From Inspiration to Completion and Everything in Between - Take a behind the
scenes look at the making of "The Assault on Lothern" by acclaimed Games
Workshop artist, Paul Dainton.

| Fact: "Alpha" is one of those key
points in a game's development that is specifically designed to torture the
fans. It lets them know that the game (which is awesome and life-affirming and
worth canceling all of your plans, dreams and birthday parties for) is
playable... yet out of reach.

Who will win the fight between
the Dark Elf Witch Elf and the
High Elf Mage?
 
Winner: Dark Elf Witch Elf
(71% of the votes)
Loser: High Elf Mage
(29% of the votes)
Why?
Apparently winning has a lot to do with female anatomy. We should have known
better than asking this question! Here are some of the responses we could print
in a family friendly newsletter:
"High Elf fails his concentration check."
- Prityana
"She's a femme fatale. Kills people and looks great doing it."
- Devin
"Two swords beat a silly stick!"
- Dave
"She reminds me of my ex-wife!"
- Patrick
"Less clothes equals more killing"
- Sean
"She uses L'Oreal and she's worth it."
- Munir
"Because I would let her beat me!"
- Rob
An our staff favorite -
"Hamster, a Dentist, Steven Seagal!"
- Berg
