Citadel Toolbox: Hero Basing Kit

December 2006·p. 67

THE SHORT VERSION

Four examples show how dead grass, slate, clump foliage and resin skull piles can make a character’s base more convincing. The guide stresses fitting the figure before assembly when a large scenic element affects its stance, scattering smaller slate around a raised rock and combining grasses for varied vegetation. It also explains how to avoid conspicuous glue marks and make static grass stand upright.

Building Pazghar

A former Gondorian border fort becomes a reusable campaign objective through foam-card construction, individually applied card bricks and layered arched windows. Separate walls, stables, stairs and a removable watchtower preserve access for models and allow different layouts. Hinged balsa gates and replaceable Haradrim or Khandish banners make changes of ownership visible, while restrained drybrushing unifies the varied building materials.

Modelling Workshop: Eldar Walkers

The workshop compares the spirit-driven Wraithlord with the piloted War Walker, then breaks down both plastic kits through component diagrams and assembly illustrations. Optional weapons and decorative parts allow models to be tailored to a collection rather than assembled identically. Finished examples connect craftworld identity to battlefield equipment and heraldry, including the kills represented by the vines on Biel-Tan walkers.

Wraithlord Components and Assembly

A numbered breakdown identifies the Wraithlord’s head, torso, limbs, weapons and ornamental pieces before showing their assembly sequence. The forty-eight-piece kit includes alternative arm and shoulder weapons, hands, vanes and a sword, giving both posing and equipment choices. The guide makes those alternatives visible beside a finished model so that readers can plan the build before committing parts with glue.
