As mentioned elsewhere, this issue has a lot of LOTR articles in it.

Three battle reports from the Quest of the Ringbearer; Weathertop, Balin's Tomb and Amon Hen (an actual "home" built game board vs just using a standard GW one). All the reports are very well done with very cinematic pictures.

Several articles on terrain building and painting scatter pieces and ruins. What is refreshing about these articles is that they don't promote GW products (except the paints used), it actually uses static grass bought from a model railway and hobby store, cork and actual rocks and twigs. The only drawback to the terrain articles is that it uses pieces of the Osgiliath Ruins set which is no longer available.

Finally it has some painting guides for Ringwraiths, Moria Goblins, Uruk-hai scouts and the Fellowship. The guide for the Moria Goblins is a bit darker than the usual ones.

All in all, definitely worth the buy.
