THE SHORT VERSION

Israel Gonzalez’s Minotaurs Contemptor receives lavish armour decoration appropriate to a Chapter with privileged equipment. A maze-and-Minotaur shield and fine parchment details make the hero recognisable. The sculpt extends motifs used on existing Minotaurs characters. The preview presents a nearly finished model ahead of its associated Imperial Armour appearance.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham introduces Apocalypse as an opportunity to use whole collections in spectacular battles. Giant new models and substantial scenery give that ambition a physical form. The team expands its armies before fighting a large siege. The issue’s painting and design material follows those preparations from individual models to an entire fortified battlefield.

Khorne Lord of Skulls

Andrew Kenrick finds the tracked Daemon Engine both enormous and straightforward to assemble. Khorne symbols, layered armour and countless skulls tie it to the existing Chaos range. Several head and gun options allow different arrangements of the same menacing silhouette. The fold-out introduces the machinery and weapons behind its single-minded battlefield purpose.

Necron Tesseract Vault

A star god struggles at the centre of a vast, partly disassembled metal prison. Canoptek creatures continually repair the damage it causes, making the kit’s structure part of its story. Forty loose Scarabs allow collectors to add activity around the exterior. Jes sees the Vault as a dramatic centrepiece that remains surprisingly simple to construct.
