Citadel Hall of Fame: Eldrad Ulthran

May 2011·pp. 34–35

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Harrison nominates the Eldrad model that drew him into the hobby in 1994, praising both its enduring detail and striking silhouette. Jes Goodwin explains how a triangular composition compensated for the shallow depth required by a one-piece mould, and how the figure introduced more elaborate surfaces to the Eldar range. A companion gallery places Eldrad beside Goodwin’s other famous Eldar characters.

Sand and Stone

Andy Hall asks Robin Cruddace, Mark Harrison and Mike Anderson how they rebuilt the Tomb Kings around the clear idea of skeletons and statues. Unlike mindless undead, the soldiers retain fragments of their former selves and the mummified rulers preserve bitter ambitions. New constructs add height and variety to the army, while the sculptors draw on several ancient cultures, stylised anatomy and shared carved motifs to create flexible sphinx and serpent kits.
