Worlds of Warhammer: All About That Base

Phil Kelly describes his conversion from leaving bare plastic bases to treating them as part of a miniature’s story. Examples range from his ill-advised use of real moss to ruined masonry, scenic character bases and small environmental details that link an army to its home or battlefield.

Last of the Silent Kings

The history of Szarekh follows the divided Necrontyr through biotransference, betrayal by the C’tan, rebellion and the Great Sleep. His secret return is driven by the Tyranids’ threat to the biological future he hopes to recover; Inquisitor Draxus’s records add ominous, unreliable fragments of Imperial investigation.

Urban Battlefields

Galactic War Zones turns the cities of the Imperium into a theme for an army’s equipment, camouflage and basing. Cadian and Valhallan examples sit beside T’au, Tyranid and Blood Axe schemes, showing how similar tonal values can suggest concealment while preserving readable models on the gaming table.
