’Eavy Metal Masterclass: Count Mannfred

May 2008·pp. 92–97

THE SHORT VERSION

Neil Green paints Mannfred and his Nightmare in separate sections, balancing black armour and carefully shaded metal with pale flesh and an elaborate supernatural cloak. Bone, fur and leather receive distinct treatments so the dense model remains readable. A cool procession of spirits contrasts with purple cloth, while green eye light and glossy blood add final focal points. The guide explains both the painting order and the controlled glazes that bring its many layers together.

Editorial: The Daemons Arrive

Grombrindal introduces the simultaneous Daemon releases as an unusual shared project for both major Warhammer settings. Design interviews explain the undertaking, while a Dark Angels battle and an Old World campaign demonstrate the armies in action. The rest of the issue continues the Middle-earth allies tactica, develops a characterful undead collection and examines exceptional painted models. The introduction balances the month’s daemonic invasion with practical collecting and painting projects.

Half Term In-store

Stores prepare Daemon-themed gaming and hobby sessions for the May holiday, alongside the launch of a National Painting Competition. The painting programme offers a chance to develop skills before local judging and Golden Demon. Black Library Day adds novel-inspired battles, character conversions and dioramas. The page presents these events as opportunities to join a new army project, defend against it or explore favourite fiction with models.

Scions of the Dark Gods

Andy Hall explores the return of independent Daemon armies with Alan Merrett, Mat Ward and Alessio Cavatore. The project restores the attention once given to Chaos in Realm of Chaos, develops mythic individual characters and shares a miniature range across two settings. Mat explains a self-contained Fantasy army, while Alessio describes the unusual deployment of its far-future counterpart. Art discussion, a Soul Grinder profile and basic painting recipes show how the shared identity becomes distinct tabletop forces.
