Shattered Thunderhawk

August 2013·p. 149

THE SHORT VERSION

Paul Rudge paints the crashed Thunderhawk tile to match his Death Guard. That decision turns a generic scenery release into part of a specific force’s history. The surrounding Legion models reinforce the intended recovery narrative. He plans to use the wreck as an objective in future Heresy games.

Army of the Month: Jamie Farquhar’s Iron Warriors

Jamie’s collection has been repeatedly rebuilt across twelve years and hundreds of games. Historical siege warfare, John Blanche’s conversions and fiction all shape its identity. Every model receives some personal alteration, from head swaps to ambitious vehicle changes. Trophies record actual opponents and battles, making the army a visual history rather than a set of anonymous spikes and skulls.

XXVII Company, Sons of Horus

Duncan gives every infantry squad its own transport with matching identification. The growing force uses mainly Forge World models but incorporates many compatible Citadel components. An Apothecary and command figures provide visual variety without abandoning the Legion palette. Transfers and consistent company markings make the collection look organised as a military formation.

The Sons of Decay

Maxime Pastourel combines imaginative Nurgle conversions with smoothly painted pale armour. Oil leaks and orange rust disturb the otherwise clean finish. A Chimera-based transport contains enough interior room to position the entire squad. The vehicle’s unusual chimney and other additions extend the same corrupted mechanical theme as the infantry.
