Ghorgon

April 2013·p. 116

THE SHORT VERSION

Nick Bayton chooses the four-armed monster to accompany his Beastman army. Dark brown skin builds towards warmer highlights before two glazes settle the finish. The muzzle, hands and feet remain darker, and worn armour contrasts with the flesh. Existing kit details, including the statue and numerous trophies, provide enough character without extensive conversion.

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.
