Standard Bearer: A Hobby Year in Review

Jervis Johnson credits the Studio support staff before reviewing the plastic Giant, the Eldar range and Cities of Death as major achievements of 2006. Playing straightforward games against his son Jack has also reminded him of the pleasure of expanding an army without constant development or reporting duties. He resolves to play more, build a new Warhammer army and meet visiting gamers at Warhammer World.

The Hobby Pillars

The editorial uses modelling, painting, gaming and reading as the four pillars that support the hobby. It introduces the issue through concrete examples of each, from converted Knights and Battlemages to Speed Freek painting, a vehicle-heavy battle and the concluding instalment of the Chronicles of Bain.

Paragons of Honour

The editors introduce an issue devoted to Imperial and Chaos Knights and the new Iron Warriors releases, including the redesigned Defiler. They also explain the decision to publish Jamie Farquhar’s Iron Warriors collection as a tribute following his death in 2024: his conversions had already appeared throughout the magazine’s Arks of Omen storyline, but his whole army had never received its own feature.
