Readers’ Models: Underworlds Warbands

January 2019·pp. 8–9

THE SHORT VERSION

Painted Shadespire warbands from several readers range from skeletal Sepulchral Guard to Fyreslayers, Stormcast and Orruks. The model-of-the-month commentary praises a gritty, oily Ironskull’s Boyz scheme. A photography sidebar recommends a white background, good frontal light, a revealing camera angle and enough distance to keep the whole miniature sharp.

Children of Chaos

Adam Elford discusses returning to Skaven after a Khorne project and then carrying his experiments with texture and skin tones into Nurgle. Converted monsters, mixed armour colours and carefully varied batches keep large units individual. His transformed Glottkin and Maggoth demonstrate how one kit’s leftovers can inspire several new characters, while tournaments provide the army’s continuing story.

Glory Points: Choosing Your Battlefield

Dave Sanders names the existing boards and explains how their starting spaces, blocked hexes and lethal hexes affect a plan before the first activation. Choosing first calls for flexibility because the opponent controls orientation; choosing second allows a more targeted arrangement. Worked layouts compare aggressive reach, defensive distance and the restrictions created by narrow or diagonal battlefields.

The ’Eavy Metal Challenge: Magic and Ritual

Five ’Eavy Metal painters receive three months to build and paint a wizard or priest of their choosing. Darren Latham and Martin Footitt judge the results, comparing interpretation of the theme with colour, texture, conversion and basing. Their close critiques lead to Joe Tomaszewski’s Weirdnob Shaman winning over four other highly individual entries.
