INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 319

Sculpting Gotrek and Felix

July 2006·p. 50

THE SHORT VERSION

Aly Morrison and Alex Hedstrom discuss creating models whose main purpose is display rather than conformity to gaming poses. Established artwork, Paul Jeacock’s concepts and the novels guide recognisable but more dynamic interpretations of the characters. The separate miniatures also have to function as one scene, so temporary bases and a shared final rocky setting ensure that their attacks, footing and composition work together.

Editorial: The Fall of Medusa V

Grombrindal calls on players to join the struggle over a planet whose destruction is already certain. The approaching warp storm supplies a common deadline, but each army can still win glory or achieve its own purpose before the end. He also introduces the new Gotrek and Felix collector’s models as a celebration of characters whose adventures have earned a particularly dramatic treatment.

News: Battle for Skull Pass

The next Warhammer boxed game is previewed as an encounter between Dwarf miners and an invading Night Goblin force. Alongside more than a hundred miniatures, scenery and measuring equipment, the set combines an illustrated starter booklet with a compact complete rulebook. The announcement reassures existing players that their army books will remain usable in the new edition while giving newcomers a self-contained beginning.

Gotrek and Felix

The collector’s set becomes a tour of the unlikely companions and their long-running adventures. Gotrek’s mysterious past, apparently unstoppable rune axe and frustrated search for a worthy death contrast with Felix’s oath to record the Slayer’s end, while Ulrika, Max and Snorri bring their own loyalties and rivalries. Thanquol and successive Bonerippers illustrate how their enemies also develop across the novels. Close photographs explain selected finishes on the new models and connect the character descriptions to the sculpted details.
