THE SHORT VERSION

Matt challenges the team to paint a fresh force and play with it in the next issue. Projects range from Dark Eldar and Beastmen to Thousand Sons, Ogres and Middle-earth wizards. The report also revisits a five-hundred-point Halloween event, where the team wins sporting and painting awards. Progress photographs and candid accounts of slow projects show several different approaches to meeting a hobby deadline.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham introduces a Daemon release shared by Warhammer and 40K. New miniatures arrive alongside both an army book and a codex, giving the issue two related sets of background and rules to explore. Adam Troke paints a substantial force to test against Matt Hutson’s Imperial Fists and contributes its painting methods. Bickham also looks ahead to the magazine’s four-hundredth issue and its planned celebrations.

Plague Drones of Nurgle

Three Plaguebearers ride bloated Rot Flies in this new plastic cavalry set. Optional command parts give the riders a distinctive banner, bell and leader. Alternative fly heads and tails vary the creatures, while swallowed victims and damaged bodies make their origins visibly unpleasant. The review identifies extras that can personalise the unit beyond the basic three builds.

Burning Chariot and Herald of Tzeentch

The Burning Chariot balances an ornate disc above magical flames, pulled by two Screamers. An Exalted Flamer and accompanying Blue Horrors make one version, while an extensively customisable Herald offers the alternative. Spare arms, heads, books and weapons expand the possibilities for other characters. Building the Flamer version can also leave enough components for a separate Herald, extending the kit’s usefulness.
