Design Studio Open Day Review

October 2008·pp. 100–101

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam Troke recalls the first Studio Open Day at Warhammer World, where more than five hundred visitors had arrived before lunch. Staff brought out unusual games, work in progress and painting clinics to make normally hidden creative work accessible. Formula Waaagh!, low-gravity battles, art discussion and a rules seminar illustrate the variety. The report presents direct conversation and shared hobby enthusiasm as the event’s main achievement.

Editorial: Reinforcements for the Adeptus Astartes

Mark Latham’s long attachment to Space Marines makes the new codex a welcome spur to his Sons of Medusa project. He is painting the Sicarius miniature in the chapter’s bright green scheme and hopes to show it soon. The editorial also reports Phil Kelly’s Studio tournament victory after defeating Matt Hutson in the semi-final, renewing their rivalry and the prospect of another magazine battle.

Matt Hooton: Golden Demon Winner

Warhammer World’s guest display celebrates Matt Hooton’s fifteen years of converting and painting. Early inspiration from Mike McVey and magazine winners led to seven years of attempts before he won two Golden Demons in 2006. The exhibition combines those entries with other work, including his tournament-army and Forge World experience. The notice presents persistence and visible examples as a way to encourage other developing painters.

And They Shall Know No Fear

Andy Hall asks Mat Ward how the new codex restores Tactical squads to the army’s centre while expanding its specialist options. Combat Tactics, chapter heroes, Veterans, Drop Pods and revised equipment provide different routes through the same flexible list. Background on Guilliman and the Chapters connects these changes to their setting. Jes Goodwin then traces the miniatures’ design lineage from Rogue Trader armour through modern plastics and recognisable vehicles.
