Arachnarok Spider

April 2013·p. 114

THE SHORT VERSION

Duncan Rhodes paints a giant spider despite his own unease around the subject. Red eyes use gem-style highlights to give the face a striking focus. A pale underside contrasts with the darker chitin. He recommends completing those hidden details before attaching the creature to its base.

The Ten-Tailed Cat

The anniversary merchandise feature turns Talabheim’s fictional inn into a wearable souvenir. Its emblem and menu decorate opposite sides of a shirt, with a matching printed bag. The accompanying text connects the design to the tavern’s reputation as a home for tough patrons and stories. Contemporary ordering details document a limited release tied to the four-hundredth issue.

Army of the Month: Richard Sherlock’s Beastmen

Richard Sherlock gives himself a year to build a Beastman horde after earlier Empire collecting. Moonclaw’s background provides the theme, and converted monsters supply the strongest individual projects. A Jabberslythe combines unexpectedly different kits, while boar riders serve a chariot’s role in play. Repeated banner designs, scenic bases and complementary colours keep the varied creatures recognisably part of one army.

Citadel Hall of Fame: Khorne Lord on Juggernaut

Tom Walton chooses Jes Goodwin’s mounted Lord for its powerful composition and implied violence. A triangular silhouette leads the eye towards the helmet while the immobile rider contrasts with his straining mount. Goodwin relates the model to a planned family of mounted Chaos champions. Deliberate metal textures and restrained armour detail help capture the moment just before action.
