After overcoming terrible trials, the Twin-Tailed Crusade has established cities in the wilds of Aqshy and Ghyran. To many, it seems a victory, but danger is drawing in, and the scent of blood is in the air...

The Malcador battle tank possesses a number of advantages to its design, the principal of which is its battle speed, which is truly formidable for a tank of its size thanks to a highly sophisticated drive system. By the time of the Horus Heresy, they saw use with second line Imperial Army units, while the focus moved on to smaller, more tactically flexible tanks. The demands of the war brought them back into mainline usage, where they’re fielded in massive formations and retrofitted with a diverse array of weapons.
The Sicaran is a fast-moving destroyer tank designed to outflank enemy formations before unleashing an overwhelming onslaught of mid-range firepower, with its rugged chassis supporting a number of weapon variants fielded throughout the Legions
The Legiones Astartes use combat bikes and anti-grav skimmer vehicles to navigate the battlefield with far greater speed and more significant firepower than any single footsoldier could normally employ. Racing forwards, these swift-striking fighters pour destruction upon their enemies while performing devastating hit and run assaults, and speed away before enemy reinforcements can catch up and engage them.
The Stormhammer is the pre-eminent super-heavy assault tank of the Solar Auxilia. Equipped with a fearsome array of weapons systems, each providing overlapping arcs of fire, the Stormhammer acts as a mobile fortress for the advance of the Solar Auxilia tercios. Such tanks are often found in the vanguard of invasion and pacification forces, driving forward into important beachheads and strongpoints.
Legion Dreadnoughts require Drop Pods that are even larger than the orbital descent capsules employed by Legiones Astartes infantry, with a sturdier frame and more powerful engine designed to support their formidable machine shell. As a result, these armoured Drop Pods strike with devastating speed, making a dangerously meteoric descent from orbit to deliver their lethal cargo. These traits also allow them to be adapted into so-called Palisade Drop Pods, hosting heavy shield generators that can be deployed anywhere on the battlefield.
The Dracosan Armoured Transport is a heavily armed and highly durable personnel carrier, each large enough to accommodate a full strength Solar Auxilia Infantry Section, and tough enough to protect its cargo from all but the most intense of enemy fire.
Gnomes frankly have a tough time winning a game of Blood Bowl – but bringing along a Treeman is a great way to close the height gap. And the strength gap. And the skill gap. These mighty arboreal players give the Gnomes half a shot against most serious teams.
Gnomes are something of an enigma in the world of Blood Bowl, with many fans having dismissed their existence almost entirely. While their tactics, and woodland creatures, are somewhat unorthodox, Gnomes are quite fond of the game. While individual players are hardly paragons of athleticism, their mastery of magical illusions and the befriending of forest beasts gives them certain advantages not enjoyed by less gloriously bearded teams.
Gnome teams play Blood Bowl on pitches deep within their mysterious forests, in clearings between the trees. These aren't just your regular run-of-the-mill forests, though – magic hangs in the air, and all manner of creatures, both fey and mundane, come out of hiding to watch their Gnome friends play Blood Bowl!
Even with their magical illusions, Gnome teams will need all the luck they can get in games of Blood Bowl, which is where these themed dice come in.
Deep in the dank heart of the old forests, mischievous woodland creatures frolic, prance, and beat each other to a pulp playing the age-old game of Blood Bowl. This issue's guest editor, Davide Mirrorfoot, reveals just a few of the secrets of Gnome teams.
