Hall of Fame: Terminator Chaplain

January 2012·p. 120

THE SHORT VERSION

Kevin Chin chooses Juan Diaz’s Terminator Chaplain for an imposing stance, skull-faced menace and richly religious details that suit his Imperial Fists. The storm bolter, shaped crozius and parchments reinforce the role rather than merely decorate it. Diaz recalls the difficulty of updating Jes Goodwin’s classic and his surprise that the first Terminator he sculpted became Kevin’s choice.

News

January’s news points newcomers towards introductory hobby sessions and announces the approaching 25th anniversary of Warhammer 40,000. School League heats expand to sixty-four Hobby Centres, while roleplaying previews explore criminal Rogue Traders and the Old World’s decadent nobility. The page connects the seasonal influx of new models with learning to build, paint and play them.

Tactica: Necrons

Mat Ward builds Necron tactics around durable troops, superior shooting and combinations supplied by leaders, Crypteks and C’tan powers. He balances those advantages against slow movement and low Initiative, which make deployment and assault avoidance important. The discussion covers objective troops, specialist attackers and vehicles before showing how relatively small changes in wargear can alter the army’s role.

The First Phalanxes

Warriors establish stubborn objective positions, with a Ghost Ark improving mobility and replacing casualties. Immortals can either form small support squads or advance at full strength with a character towards enemy-held ground. Mat Ward connects their gauss-or-tesla choice to target armour and the army’s other anti-vehicle tools rather than treating one weapon as universally superior.
