Nick Cristofoli’s Nurgle host grows around the miniatures and conversions he enjoys most. Plague Cart imagery inspires chariots, Ogre bodies diversify the Minotaurs, and Zombie components distress the Marauders. An elaborate Grail Reliquae-based Sorcerer becomes a collaborative modelling project and an opportunity to learn sculpting. The interview connects these choices to Nick’s interpretation of Nurgle and his preference for preserving the recognisable character of donor models.

Laurie Stewart’s Khemrian Undead, Mark Unitt’s large greenskin collection and Paul Stewart’s Lizardmen demonstrate different approaches to Warmaster. Chariots and massed infantry support the Undead, Goblin conversions explore a trial list, and reptilian cavalry combine with larger creatures. Painting advice concentrates on coherent units, visible focal points and manageable batches. The collectors also describe how command uncertainty and the game’s strategic scale influence their enjoyment.

A northern European competition invites hobbyists to design a loyal Space Marine chapter through three representative miniatures. Chris Birks’s Sons of Pertinax and Thomas Kyrsting’s Sons of Ares demonstrate how shields, heraldry, conversions and background create a chapter’s identity. Their examples combine distinctive history with recognisable Imperial imagery. The feature records the 2004 competition and uses the sample chapters as practical inspiration for personal armies.
