THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hall visits Dave Cross to examine the new washes, spray gun and painting book. Cross explains the difference between opaque Foundation paints and translucent paint-based shading, while ’Eavy Metal painters describe experiments with metal and colour. Demonstrations compare washing before or after highlights, and Chad Mierzwa develops a complete Tyranid scheme from a shaded white undercoat. The feature presents the releases through their practical effect on consistent army painting.

Editorial: Mordor and the Month of Hobby

Grombrindal introduces Mordor as Adam Troke’s final sourcebook before leaving the Studio, celebrating the developer’s contribution to the Middle-earth game. Painting occupies another large part of the issue through the revised Citadel range, new washes, a spray gun and the return of Painting Workshop. The editorial frames these articles as practical companions to the new painting book and invites readers to judge the promised improvements for themselves.

Warhammer World Summer Hobby Camp

Warhammer World announces five-day camps built around assembling, painting and playing with a new or expanded army. A selected battalion or battleforce, materials, tuition and a carrying case support the week’s project, with games testing the growing force. The page also lists forthcoming exhibitions and previews Aly Morrison’s new Bugman miniature. The programme turns the earlier hobby-camp proposal into bookable activities with a clear collecting goal.

Beyond the Black Gate

Andy Hall talks to Adam Troke about expanding Mordor without losing the familiar identity of Sauron’s forces. Distinctive Ringwraiths, Black Númenóreans and Morgul Knights give elite options, while new Orc support heroes and a versatile Troll kit strengthen the ordinary ranks. Two example armies demonstrate mounted raiding and a large combined host. Neil Green’s painting recipes then show how the new washes can give Orc flesh, cloth and armour depth with straightforward stages.
