INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
elcome to
The Best of White Dwarf Magazine,
a collection of some of the greatest Middle-earth articles ever to feature within
the hallowed pages of
White Dwarf
– some even from as far back as 2001 when
The Fellowship of the Ring™
was first released.
These articles all hold a special place within the hearts of fans of the Middle-earth Strategy Battle Game, and so we wanted to ensure
that anyone who had not had the chance to read them before could do so within this compendium. Many of these articles come from
an edition of the Strategy Battle Game prior to the current one, and so you may notice differences between what was written and how
the game works now. This is fine so long as you remember that these articles were a product of their time and therefore written, in some
cases, many years ago.
Within
The Best of White Dwarf Magazine
you will find the following:
BATTLE REPORTS
A selection of Battle Reports, plus a series of Battle Companies
games, from all eras of the Strategy Battle Game, including the
first Battle Report ever published all the way back in 2001!
BATTLE COMPANIES CAMPAIGN
The Search for the Stone Battle Companies campaign that focuses
on the Evil factions in Middle-earth.
NARRATIVE SCENARIOS
A slew of Narrative Scenarios from the history of White Dwarf,
covering a variety of events in Middle-earth from the duel
between Gandalf and the Balrog, to Radagast defending his home
in Rhosgobel, and even Fatty Bolger’s escape from the Nazgûl!
ADDITIONAL RULES
Rules for playing games in Lake-town or even having one force
assault another across a river.
TACTICS ARTICLES
A selection of Tactica that look at various aspects of gaming, from
how to build an army to take on all-comers, to how to get the best
out of your Magic users during the course of a game.
HOBBY ARTICLES
Hobby-focused articles showing you how to make terrain
that fits with the aesthetics of the land of Mordor, as well as a
showcase of the nine named Ringwraiths converted to be riding
their Fell Beasts.
PAINT SPLATTER
Painting guides for some of the more recent plastic kits from the
Middle-earth range – Théoden, King of Rohan and Gandalf the
White and Peregrin Took.

A Lord of the Rings Battle Report
Any regular readers will know by
now that they are in for a special
treat. To whet your appetites we
have designed a new scenario
made specifically for this battle
report. Who better to fight out
the battle than Rick Priestley and
Alessio Cavatore, the designers
behind the game?
T
hose of you who have played
any of Games Workshop’s
other products will be interested
to learn that The Fellowship of
the Rings strategy battle game is a
total departure from any system we
have ever created. But instead of
confusing you with reams of new
rules, we’ve decided for this battle
report to give you a taste of the
excitement that the game provides.
So read on and enjoy the first of
many reports we will be featuring
set in the exciting world of Tolkien’s
Middle-earth.
The Battlefield used for this scenario.
The Good side sets up in canyon, up
to 12” onto the board.
