THE SHORT VERSION

Sam explains the recipes behind his Sylvaneth, from warm and cool spirit flesh to dark bark, silver-birch wood and luminous weapons. The guide connects the choice of green, yellow and blue spirits to their different temperaments and uses bright runes and soul pods to suggest life energy within the trees.

Worlds of Warhammer: Architects, Gardeners and Hunter-Gatherers

Phil Kelly applies different creative habits to collecting armies: meticulous planners, hobbyists who grow a force organically and scavengers who adopt neglected models. His Skrapyard Dogz illustrate how disparate gifts, repairs and acquisitions can become a coherent Ork army through shared colours and background.
