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.

Techmarines train on Mars before returning to maintain their Chapter’s weapons, vehicles and sacred artefacts. Their divided loyalties and specialised knowledge set them apart from other Marines, while servo-arms, servitors and bionic tools support their work. Accounts of Paullian Blantar and Sevano Tomasin illustrate contrasting traditions. The feature also explains the Space Wolves’ Iron Priests and the ritual language surrounding Imperial technology.

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.
