EDITOR’S NOTE
This one is a jam-packed issue! And I have more ready
to come in the next scroll. As always, it is really im-
portant to get the communities feedback on the mag-
azine if we want to improve. So make sure you post
in the feedback thread on the forum if you have any
ideas. You can also send me a mail directly if you like!

As we teased last month, the new website is very
close to completion. If its not already up and running
at the time of publication, you might get a nice sur-
prise next time you log into the forum. Moreover, we
have some sneak peaks into the Infernal Dwarves de-
sign process, a new Background Compendium AND
an Ask the Sage article!! – Don’t say I don’t treat you
to some good information.
For me this month has been awesome for hobby. My
big dragon has arrived from the Joan of Arc Kickstart-
er. Its HUGE! I’m going to name it Charizard and paint
it orange – more to come soon!
Ive also been painting a bit more of my Beast Herd
Army. I have too many pictures to share so you should
definitely check out my “Ribena Herds” blog on the
user blog section (shameless plug). One notable unit
I am building is my Razortusks. These will take the
shape of Owlbears from Dark Sword Miniatures. This
project is really showing me that we are in a Golden
Age of miniature-based gaming. There are so many
new companies and Kickstarters popping up all over
the place. While this isn’t good for your wallet, its fan-
tastic to see really unique miniatures at an affordable
price.
Lastly I want to make a tentative announcement for
Giant Fanatic 2019. Giant Fanatic has been a staple
of Scandinavian Tournaments for many years. After a
year of hiatus, Giant Fanatic is (hopefully) back and
will be held in central Copenhagen on the 12-13th of
October. We are in the final stages of planning, but
this has long been a huge event for all gaming sys-
tems and one not to miss on the international calen-
dar. Save the date and keep an eye out for this awe-
some event!

RUMOURS FROM THE BLASTED PLAIN
Article by Infernal Dwarves LAB Team
Greetings Prophets and Overlords! The time for the prophecies to be read and the wheels of our industry to
turn!
We are not intending to spoil direct rules but outline
some concepts to give you an idea of where we are
with some of the design ideas:
•
The four churches (Ashuruk, Shamut, Nezibkesh
and Lugar) will be more visible in the army. Each
will offer some variation to their prophets, suiting
the theme of that church.
Tauruhks and Anointed will embrace their bullish
nature, gaining increased damage output when
charging.
More versatile system for the Infernal Dwarves
(ID) artillery options…
Players will get the opportunity to choose a weap-
on and combine it with one of various chassis. The
weapons and chassis will be similar to those the ID
currently have access to such as the Bound Daemon,
Infernal Artillery, etc. These can alter the properties
and provide different advantages.
After that the Engineers can tinker with extra ammu-
nition types, that are certain to leave an impact, de-
pending on the Overlords requirements.
The Engineers are also trying to make these artilleries
more reliable. But this could come at a cost. When
they fail, the consequences will be more dramatic.
Short Concept Description
Industrial production of war machines with inter-
changeable parts has revolutionized the armoury of
the Infernal Dwarf armies allowing them to mount
any of their guns on a range of chassis with little effort
to suite the terrain, enemy or tactics.

The Artillery Train
ID engineers have been hard at work, improving the
workshops of the Blasted Plain. This will revolution-
ise, to the very core, the way ID war-machines op-
erate and allow the players to customize their pro-
duction line, and create the exact war machine they
need.
Do you want a gargantuan gatling gun that grinds
your foes to powder? A train that spews waves of
fire onto all that lie before it?

" Meltav. You're a dwarf."
"An' you're observant. Was it th' beard or th'
axe that gave it away?"
"What I mean, Meltav, is that you might
have some keen tactical insights to offer on
the foe this company faces tomorrow."
"Ah, stow it Vicenzo. These're Eastern
Dwarves - from th' Infernal lands. Barely
know a bloody thing abou’ them."
"Try."
"Ah, fine. I saw them guns while they were
wheelin' them in t' position. Big basts' they
are. Overengineered if y' ask me."
"Yes Meltav, we are asking you."
"Fine, fine. They look odd. Any guildsman
worth his pay would make his guns to a tried
an' true method, an' y' could tell what they
do by the way they look. Those? Look bloody
obscene. Damned if'n I have the foggiest
what they're s'posed t' do."
ISSUE #016 - JULY 2019
Intended guns
• Flamethrower.
• Mortar.
• Machine Gun.
Intended chassis
• Gunnery Team.
• Infernal Engine.
• Bound Daemon.
• Infernal Artillery.
Intended Ammunitions
• Tremor Ammunition.
• Kadim Infused Ammunition.
• Poisonous Fumes.
Sub-concept:
Infernal Dwarves have mastered industrial scale pro-
duction explosive shells for different standard cali-
bres. The standardized process improves reliability
whereas adding the many types of highly volatile ex-
plosives may have unexpected consequences.
Feel
Unconventional feeling. Mobility increased to use
shorter shooting range.
Advance under a moving barrage of fire.
Customizable for representing the superior ID abili-
ties and resources.
General Goal
• Have the current Artillery Weapons in the book
somewhat represented.
• Every Artillery Weapon should be able to be
mounted on every chassis.
Each chassis comes with different pros and cons, like
different mobility, durability, special rules, etc.
All this and more is waiting in the new ID book! You will
be able to choose how you construct your war-ma-
chines; tailor-making them to fit your needs on the
battlefield. All to make you feel like a true engineer as
you build your weapons of doom and disaster!
Please, keep in mind that everything is still subject to
changes and stay tuned for more, as further concepts
are revealed.
