THE SHORT VERSION

Andrew Kenrick hands the editorial to Alan Merrett, whose experience reaches from early metal casting to managing the Citadel design team. Merrett places the launch of resin Finecast alongside earlier developments in plastics and announces that future non-plastic releases will use the new range. His enthusiastic account records the expectations surrounding a major manufacturing change and the relaunch of many familiar models.

Standard Bearer: Desert Island Miniatures, Part 2

Jervis Johnson completes his personal selection with Mephiston, Sam and Bill, the Baneblade and Witchfate Tor. Each recalls a lesson: collect characters that capture an army’s spirit, preserve the emotional truth of a story, dare to expand the scale of a game and make its world tangible through terrain. His luxury is time with his unpainted collection and painting equipment, while the Warhammer rulebook supplies inspiration; forced to keep one choice, he returns to the Tactical Squad.

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.
