THE SHORT VERSION

Two elaborate Space Marine projects turn chapter history into visible decoration. Dominic Murray interviews David Rodriguez about Calgar’s mobile-shrine Land Raider, with architectural additions and custom transfers recording famous deeds. Matt Parkes builds an imposing Crimson Fists Chapter Master from planned drawings, widened armour and carefully designed banners. Both explain how a coherent idea guides conversion choices beyond simply adding extra components.

The News

A Sonic Lance Revenant Titan, simplified troop kits and brush-cap superglue lead the news. The Thorians sourcebook becomes freely downloadable, the Mines of Moria receives website support, and the Citadel Miniatures Hall opens to visitors. Book previews accompany the launch of Dark Millennium’s collectible cards and online campaign, while a longer notice explains the company’s contemporary response to counterfeit miniatures.

Battling in the Box

Adam Troke turns the starter box’s lid and base into a compact Chamber of Mazarbul board. Polystyrene ledges, foamcard steps and rubble create usable raised edges before textured paint and grey-brown drybrushing finish the stone. The plastic scenery then completes the room. Two further pages explain jumping, climbing and defended obstacles so players can gradually use the board with the full manual rather than only the introductory rules.

Building and Painting Balin’s Tomb

Removing a long side from each half of the box creates two matching room sections that can be joined for play or stored separately. Six-centimetre ledges leave openings for the doorway and layered foamcard stairs, while rubble masks construction gaps. Black spray, two greys, Rotting Flesh and brown in the corners give the board a rich worn finish before the boxed scenery is placed.
