Standard Bearer: Collecting

February 2009·pp. 78–80

THE SHORT VERSION

Jervis Johnson proposes collecting as a fifth element of the hobby, alongside miniatures, modelling, gaming and background. The pleasure of shaping a collection can be constrained if army lists are mistaken for limits on what a player may own. Apocalypse, Legendary Battles, the Collectors Range and flexible new releases are offered as ways to support everything from a balanced army to a whole Chapter or a favourite sculptor’s complete work.

Favourite Miniatures

Mark Latham describes the competing enthusiasm of the designers bringing Lizardmen, Orks and War of the Ring into the magazine. The new Citadel Hall of Fame also sparks a Studio-wide discussion of favourite miniatures, with choices ranging from the Skaven Doomwheel to a humble Rhino. His own affection for Kurt Helborg helped start an Empire collection, illustrating how one memorable sculpt can set a much larger hobby project in motion.

The Hobby Pillars

The editorial uses modelling, painting, gaming and reading as the four pillars that support the hobby. It introduces the issue through concrete examples of each, from converted Knights and Battlemages to Speed Freek painting, a vehicle-heavy battle and the concluding instalment of the Chronicles of Bain.

Paragons of Honour

The editors introduce an issue devoted to Imperial and Chaos Knights and the new Iron Warriors releases, including the redesigned Defiler. They also explain the decision to publish Jamie Farquhar’s Iron Warriors collection as a tribute following his death in 2024: his conversions had already appeared throughout the magazine’s Arks of Omen storyline, but his whole army had never received its own feature.
