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.

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.

Chris Peach and Chad Mierzwa’s Studio ruins use a black undercoat, sprayed stone foundation and pale drybrushing for a consistent set of buildings. Earth and green in the corners suggest accumulated dirt, while grey drybrushing distinguishes the wooden floors. A separate Angmar version begins with a vivid green foundation before muted stone highlights, and uses hamster bedding for cobwebs to strengthen the haunted effect.
