Army of the Month: Owen Patten’s Chaos Ogres

September 2013·pp. 48–53

THE SHORT VERSION

Owen imagines an Ogre mercenary force abandoning its former Ostermark employers to seek the power of Chaos. Different gods shape the units’ mutations and conversion parts. Elaborate Mournfang substitutes, altered artillery and large monsters extend the theme across the army. A display attacking an Empire town makes its betrayal visible beyond the individual figures.

Orion: Tears of Isha

A short notice returns Darius Hinks to the King in the Woods. Daemons threaten Athel Loren while the Wood Elves search for a new mortal host for Orion. The timing of that renewal makes the invasion especially dangerous. The magazine provides the book’s premise rather than an extended review of its plot.

Warhammer Throne of Skulls: Painting Gallery

Glenn and Erik collect examples from the April Throne of Skulls event. Undead creatures, Nurgle followers, Dark Elves and greenskins demonstrate a broad range of approaches. Subtle blue shading enriches pale bone, while conversions add character to cavalry and chariots. The gallery credits the painters and highlights memorable details rather than supplying recipes.

Hall of Fame: Arachnarok Spider

Glenn nominates the Arachnarok from a photographer’s appreciation of its detail at every angle. The tiny crew and underbelly spiders establish both scale and unease. Aly Morrison recalls a collaborative design growing from an earlier giant Spider Rider mock-up. A captive Dwarf, gnarled trees and small jokes retain the Goblins’ malicious comic character.
