The Assault on Magnir’s Crag

June 2013·p. 121

THE SHORT VERSION

A former Games Day display returns to prominence in the Citadel Miniatures Hall. Space Wolves defend against a Tyranid attack in a scene filled with small details. The notice identifies its origin in the studio’s 2009 event work. It presents the display as an opportunity to study a large narrative composition rather than a new set of game rules.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham places the Eldar release within a busy year of new armies. The enormous Wraithknight and two aircraft provide the month’s most striking additions. Glenn incorporates them into his Ulthwé force for a battle against Necrons. Nick Bayton’s greenskins and a collection of converted tanks supply contrasting hobby projects.

Eldar Wraithknight

The Wraithknight combines immense scale with the curved lines of smaller Eldar constructs. Its living pilot shares the machine with the spirit of a dead twin, giving the armour a tragic identity. Wraithcannons, a suncannon and a ghostglaive offer very different main armaments. Articulated joints and optional locating pins allow collectors to choose between straightforward assembly and more ambitious poses.

Hemlock Wraithfighter

A Spiritseer pilots the Hemlock while distortion weapons and a mindshock pod attack its victims in unsettling ways. The double-delta wings preserve a sleek silhouette despite the unusual armament. Dorsal fins and notched shapes connect the aircraft to seers and ghost warriors. Adam highlights those visual links as well as the craft’s role as a terror weapon.
