Painting Masters: Darren Latham

August 2007·pp. 76–81

THE SHORT VERSION

Darren describes progressing from store painting expert to ’Eavy Metal through practice, planning and attention to contrast. His collection demonstrates restrained conversions, elaborate freehand and carefully placed spot colours, from Dark Angels and Eldar to a huge Avatar painted from its brightest inner areas outwards. He also discusses non-metallic metal as an advanced, deliberately stylised technique, presenting it as an optional artistic challenge rather than a necessary standard.

News: Get Ready for the Apocalypse!

The preview introduces Apocalypse as a way to field collections of at least three thousand points with no stated upper limit. Datasheets organise either huge individual models or complete formations, from super-heavy tanks to entire Marine companies. A plastic Baneblade and new themed releases illustrate the proposed scale, while the text emphasises arranging a spectacular shared game with friends and using models from across an existing collection.

For the Glory of Gondor: Design Notes

Mat Ward explains the different purposes of Gondor in Flames and The Return of the King: one surveys a realm’s armies and history, the other provides flexible narrative scenarios. The Perry twins describe fitting book-inspired figures alongside the film designs, and Alessio Cavatore reflects on maintaining simple core rules while expanding the setting. New Fiefdoms, cavalry, spectral riders and southern enemies make that broader approach visible in the miniature range.

Gondor in Flames

The sourcebook separates Gondor’s forces by era and region, from the High King’s Númenóreans to Minas Tirith, Ithilien and the Dead. The greatly expanded Fiefdoms list can fight alone or reinforce the city armies with distinctive specialists. Mat Ward also explains the choice to present pivotal historical engagements rather than a continuous campaign, giving the realm a wider playable history than the siege alone.
