Michael Perry praises Brian Nelson’s Necromancer as an example of the depth possible in a small plastic character kit. Strong silhouette and controlled detail preserve a sense of menace. Brian explains the vulture imagery behind its drooping posture, collar and sleeves. A disturbed grave base reinforces the figure’s dependence on the dead.

Dave Thomas and Nick Ho describe the Vault as a prison in continual danger of being torn apart. Scarabs and Leeches explain how it survives that destruction. Star charts and circuit patterns inspire the dense interior, while Alex Hedström’s C’tan draws on plasma-globe energy. Face and chest restraints preserve the sense that even this immense machine is barely controlling its occupant.
