Adam Troke organises Evil heroes by the jobs they perform rather than by their impressive profiles alone. Destructive monsters need support to keep choosing fights, leaders and shamans maintain courage, and spellcasters dismantle formations before assassins finish isolated targets. Preserving a wraith’s last Will point can make its late-game presence more valuable than another spell, while Sauron demonstrates how a dominant hero can distract opponents from the rest of an objective-taking force.

The gallery presents allied collections from the previous season’s doubles tournament, including Richard Sherlock’s Wood Elves and Steve Mercer’s Bretonnians. Stephen Bennett and Gregory Aston pair woodland spirits with Dwarf artillery, while Phil Walter and Paul Given display carefully coordinated Elven characters. Event photographs and podium results place the painted armies in their social setting, where shared collecting and collaboration accompany competition.

The second Knight gallery collects individual Imperial and Chaos war machines painted and converted by studio hobbyists. Each contributor ties a striking model to its pilot, household or personal history, then explains practical choices in construction or colour. The spread ranges from a walking Dark Angels shrine to weathered renegades and daemonic engines, with compact recipes that make the varied armour and metal treatments reusable.
