Thomas J. ★★★★★

I've been playing Chaos Dwarfs for a while now, and this issue's breakdown of Hobgoblin tactics is exactly what my team needed. The new star player rules are a blast to use on the pitch. Great read for any league coach.

Sebastian ★★★★☆

The Hobgoblin ally rules are exactly what my league needed to add some variety to our Chaos Dwarf teams. Layout is clean and easy to reference during a match. Only wish it had a few more team-specific star player options.

Sofia ★★★☆☆

The Chaos Dwarf focus is exactly what I wanted, and the Hobgoblin ally rules add some nice tactical depth. That said, the background lore feels thinner than in previous issues, so it’s more of a solid rules companion than a great read.
