May 2010·pp. 89–93

THE SHORT VERSION

Darren Latham explains that judges first look for a model that belongs convincingly in its fictional setting, then assess painting and presentation. Previous entrants discuss choosing an inspiring project, balancing a range of techniques and making colours work both close up and at arm’s length. Photographs of established masters lead into previews of Joe Tomaszewski and Fil Dunn, with persistence and learning from unsuccessful entries presented as essential preparation.

Follow the Eldar Path

Gav Thorpe introduces Korlandril, an Eldar artist whose wounded pride drives him onto the Path of the Warrior and into the Striking Scorpion Aspect. The preview frames the novel around the psychological cost of immersion in a martial identity, including the danger of becoming an Exarch. Companion books following the Seer and Outcast paths promise different views of the same society rather than a conventional Imperial perspective.

The Battle for Quenelles

Andy Hall reports an unusually large recreation of the Red Pox attack on Quenelles, with eight Bretonnian dukes facing five Skaven lords. Alessio Cavatore coordinated the game, whose decisive massed cavalry charge gave the Bretonnians victory. Hall nevertheless claims a local success for the Skaven after his Plague Monks reached the walls, illustrating how a narrative mega-battle can produce memorable achievements even for the losing side.

Painting Knights of Dol Amroth

Duncan Rhodes gives a compact sequence for the Swan Knights’ polished metal, strong blue cloth and cool white heraldry. Black and blue washes define the armour before silver highlights, while progressively lighter blue layers distinguish the cloth. White begins from a grey foundation to retain shadows, with warm flesh and brown leather finishing the model; the shield repeats the same palette to keep the mounted regiment coherent.
