Kit Bash: Head Swaps

March 2009·p. 87

THE SHORT VERSION

The new series begins with one of the simplest ways to personalise a figure. Compatible plastic components often need only a changed head, while metal models can require careful cutting. Examples turn a Man-at-Arms into a knightly hero and personalise a Marine captain. Nick Bayton combines chosen heads, a halberd and shield to distinguish a Chaos leader.

Editorial: Collecting for Big Games

Mark treats Apocalypse as a way to field the models he enjoys rather than build towards a restrictive list. He reminds readers that three thousand points is only a starting scale for the expansion. Large games can also use ordinary rules when that better suits the group. The same collecting freedom extends to Legendary Battles and the forthcoming War of the Ring.

Ork Stompa

A huge plastic idol combines a chainfist, heavy guns and a ramshackle armoured body. Alternative faceplates, a removable boss plate and freely positioned riggers allow considerable variation. One illustrated version leaves room for a painted clan symbol. The release notice emphasises both the machine’s destructive role and the kit’s wealth of small Ork details.

Shadowsword and Stormlord

One plastic chassis supports six different super-heavy tank builds. The Shadowsword hunts Titans with its volcano cannon, while the Stormlord transports troops beneath heavy anti-infantry fire. Other barrels create specialist siege and support vehicles. The notice introduces the modelling choices before later pages provide the two principal datasheets.
