Modelling Moria

January 2006·pp. 106–107

THE SHORT VERSION

Foam offcuts become rubble barriers and broken walkways, with gouged rather than completely severed surfaces preserving playable connections. A tiered rock spire supports an octagonal platform and foamboard throne made from earlier templates. Roughcoat textures the stone before black paint, Dark Flesh in recesses and grey-to-pale drybrushing finish it. The projects expand an existing Dwarrowdelf collection while supplying the pieces used by this issue’s rules.

Editorial

Owen Rees reflects on the enlarged Games Day and the practical possibilities of newly available Middle-earth components. He introduces the reorganized Astronomican as a stronger home for clubs, stores and readers’ models, while describing progress on the Tahnelians’ heavy weapons platoon and a converted officer. The editorial also anticipates a staff Mordheim campaign, linking the team’s personal projects with the following months’ coverage.

Andy Hoare previews the expanded Tau armoury, including plastic Sky Rays, Piranhas, XV25 suits and Commander Shadowsun. Other reports introduce Middle-earth component ordering, a Wood Elf stag rider, two Forge World Hellhound variants and the coming Mark of Chaos computer game. A school animation project demonstrates another use for miniatures, while Horus Rising heralds a new fiction series. The news also flags missing profiles in the new Middle-earth rulebooks and a consolidated historical rules release.

Games Day 2005: On with the Show!

Nick Kyme and Owen Rees explore the Birmingham NEC’s three huge halls, dividing their report between the Forum, Pavilion and Arena. Fully booked Bring and Battle tables, conversion contests and scenery workshops give visitors hands-on activity alongside Studio conversations, author signings and digital games. Giant battles include an entire Steel Confessors Chapter fighting Tyranids and a walk-through Minas Tirith. The day closes with Golden Demon awards and Kiril Kanaev’s Slayer Sword, among a record attendance of roughly nine thousand hobbyists.
