Tournament results celebrate the second heats of the 2003–2004 season and point readers towards armies featured in this issue. A report on Gothenburg’s Battle Bunker describes its gaming tables, painting space and themed terrain. Other notices introduce Deff Skwadron, Forge World’s Orca and Drone Sentry Turrets, and replica artefacts and art prints. Together they record the month’s competition, store and release activity.

Matt Parkes builds elaborate heraldry from simple construction lines, explaining how repeated fleur-de-lys and interwoven borders become manageable patterns. Darkened red and blue cloth supports bright yellow detail without competing with the Hippogryph’s muted natural colours. Separate demonstrations cover the shield, cloak, reins, lance and pennant. Premixed highlights and careful repairs keep the many repeated designs consistent across the finished king.

Steve Cumiskey follows Dave Andrews’ method for a peasant farmhouse. An irregular polystyrene core and separate blocks create rough walls, while balsa doors, shutters and timbers provide contrast. Glue-combed fake fur becomes thatch. Textured paint, muted stone drybrushes and small details such as a garden wall turn the basic construction into terrain with a recognisable Bretonnian setting.
