#434 "The Return to Middle-Earth, Kill Team - Rogue Trader!, Hall of Fame - Jes Goodwin"

Journey into the unknown with Rogue Trader Elucia Vhane as we introduce Rogue Trader, a new game that pits the crew of the starship New Dawn against the Gellerpox Infected – a terrifying Nurgle uprising. Not only do we have the full lowdown on this game, we also have The Battle of Pelennor Fields – a new boxed game for The Middle-Earth Strategy Battle Game. It’s a packed issue and no mistake! Also included are the usual Battle Reports, painting guides and Designers’ Notes – all the hobby love you need in September:
