A New Year’s Hobby Fix

January 2010·p. 1

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Latham welcomes the Tyranid release and the return of the Legion of the Damned, then checks the White Dwarf team’s previous New Year resolutions. His Sons of Medusa remain unfinished after a diversion into Blood Angels, while Andy Hall succeeds at weekly gaming and Andrew Kenrick expands his Salamanders before beginning Tomb Kings. The contrasting outcomes make the editorial a candid account of how real hobby plans evolve over a year.

Standard Bearer: Losing with Grace

Jervis Johnson reflects on the defeated player’s sulky expression and the way blaming dice can conceal tactical mistakes. His practical remedies begin with recognising the mood, then remembering the opponent’s enjoyment, keeping the result in perspective and studying errors while the game is still underway. He treats gracious play as both a social responsibility and a route to better games, drawing on his own imperfect efforts rather than claiming immunity to frustration.

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.
