Armies on Parade: Dave Taylor’s Empire Army

July 2012·pp. 104–105

THE SHORT VERSION

Dave Taylor’s Nuln army begins as Gründel’s Defenders, inspired by an illustration in Uniforms & Heraldry of the Empire and successful as a Golden Demon diorama. Expanding that unit becomes a complete parade collection that wins its local vote and reaches the Chicago final. Scenic artillery, a converted Engineer and Marius Leitdorf used as the General extend the city-state theme beyond the original spearmen.

Armies of the 41st Millennium

Studio hobbyists prepare collections for the new game through lunch-break painting, friendly deadlines, conversions and additions to older armies. Their interviews reveal motives ranging from novels and nostalgic first forces to a love of particular models or a desire to try new battlefield options. The survey demonstrates the variety possible within familiar factions, with visual themes and personal characters mattering alongside enthusiasm for the new rules.

Carl Dafforn’s Black Templars

A committed Warhammer player, Carl Dafforn chooses Black Templars as his first 40K force because tabards, heraldry and martial bearing make them feel like knights in space. Shields and hammers reinforce that theme, including a Dreadnought weapon borrowed from a Nemesis Dreadknight. The walkers’ imposing silhouettes are as important to the appeal as their ability to advance while firing heavy weapons.

Glenn More’s Chaos Space Marines

Glenn More changes direction from Eldar and Grey Knights to Word Bearers after reading The First Heretic and Know No Fear. The Chaos range’s conversion opportunities drive the project, combining Possessed, Spawn and Dark Angels parts from several bit collections. He intends the resulting assault army to retain plenty of Troops for objectives, connecting its battlefield plan to the large, personalised collection he wants to build.
