A Painting Special

February 2010·p. 1

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Latham explains how a large response to Ask Eavy Metal led to a full painting surgery in this issue. He also introduces the Road to Golden Demon feature and Darren Latham’s monstrous-face masterclass, arguing that working among beautifully painted Studio miniatures makes it especially important to appreciate the labour behind them. Reader letters on tactics and battle reports help shape the magazine alongside its new releases.

Standard Bearer: Conversions

Jervis Johnson asks why hobbyists devote time to conversions when the unaltered models already look good. He moves from simple component swaps through putty work and scratch building, arguing that ordinary rank-and-file figures can be as personally meaningful as spectacular centrepieces. Plastic compatibility and spare components support this creativity, but the satisfaction comes from making something individual rather than from the tools themselves.

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.
