Miniature Wargames

September 2026 In Issue 521 of Miniature Wargames , we have another fantastic selection of scenarios, painting guides, hobby projects and thought-provoking articles to inspire your next tabletop battle. On the cover we have Over the Top, where Paul Mackay of War Fulcrum shows you how to paint 28mm WWI 3D prints. Command Decision examines the WWI Ludendorff Crisis, while Gridlocked explores the advantages and disadvantages of increasingly popular grid-based tabletop wargaming. Travel to a mystical fantasy setting with A Meeting on the Moor, a multiplayer scenario for the skirmish game Shivershield. Death of a Wargamer: The Hour is Later Than You Think offers a reflective look at the hobby, while Blast Off! Part Two continues the action-packed Space Western with new scenarios and rules for the High Frontier. The Editor reflects on why we play the games we do in Back to the Future, before Tony Harwood returns with another excellent Scratchbuild, this time creating a traditional Spanish horreo. We also show you how to make Convincing Tarpaulins to add extra realism to your terrain. Finally, we introduce a new columnist in Last Word, alongside our regular departments including Forward Observer for the latest hobby news and Recce with reviews of the latest wargaming books.

Miniature Wargames

This publication has been very enjoyable, thank you! Reviewed 07 May 2026

Miniature Wargames

Less Historical content and more Sci-Fi & Fantasy. Games Workshop is hemorrhaging customers like myself who are not traditional wargamers. I love the Konflikt47 content which is how I found you. Please look into Marcher: Empires at War, Trench Crusade, Ravaged Star and other 40K competitors. Reviewed 12 January 2026
