The Knights of Azyr

December 2016·pp. 66–75

THE SHORT VERSION

Ben Johnson’s dark-blue Stormcast collection grows from admiration for new models into chambers with their own names, campaigns and legends. He explains keeping every warrior masked, deriving stories from games and taking unusual collections to events, while straightforward unmixed paints make a very large army consistent and repeatable.

Five Questions: Gav Thorpe

Gav Thorpe explains how competing secrets make the Dark Angels fertile ground for fiction and why Azrael’s accession supplies a useful moment of change. Trials imposed by the Watchers push the novel towards fantasy, while Ezekiel’s enigmatic advice and invented Legion vehicles reveal further opportunities in the setting.

Contact

Readers ask for scenery workshops, campaigns and tactical advice, and the replies discuss starting with the reasons two armies are fighting. Existing army background, scenarios and fiction can supply a narrative without requiring an elaborate campaign, while further responses consider the deliberately unresolved lost Legions and the humanity of reforged Stormcast.

Hall of Fame: Killa Kans

Maxime Pastourel nominates Dale Stringer’s Killa Kans for the pleasure and flexibility of their construction. Cross-compatible limbs, readable mechanisms and spare armour parts make the builder feel like an Ork Mek, while the accessible surfaces and varied silhouettes keep assembling and painting repeated models enjoyable.
