James Karch reinforces his established Sons of Guilliman with Primaris Marines, finding their large armour panels well suited to the quartered scheme.

Rik Turner’s display begins with a desire to build a Chaos fortress and develops into Archaon leading twelve Varanguard through its gate. The scenery frames the airborne centrepiece, while conversions provide Slaaneshi riders absent from the standard parts; the painter credits existing tutorials with helping him complete the demanding character over several weeks.

Gareth Cosby turns a long-standing fascination with Mechanicus artwork into a rapidly completed Martian army. A metallic undercoat makes the many mechanical details manageable, while a cog-shaped display inspired by the Void Shield Generator supports Skitarii, a Taranis Knight and contrasting assassins within one industrial scene.
