In the Spotlight: Lars Sammet

Lars Sammet builds distinctive kill teams by combining kits and creating a strong identity for each group. Raptors receive military camouflage, Aeldari borrow Harlequin weapons, Chaos cultists use eclectic character conversions and custom Voidsmen combine Imperial infantry parts around a converted Rogue Trader.

Worlds of Warhammer: Forty Facts About the Far Future

Phil Kelly collects unusual fragments of 41st Millennium lore, ranging from time-travelling Orks and the Kraken’s Egg of Fenris to Aeldari traditions and the Ynnari’s missing swords. The selection emphasises the setting’s mysteries, contradictions and scale rather than providing a single continuous history.

The Tome Celestial: Vokmortian’s Tithe Legion

Vokmortian’s relentless collection of bone underpins the Ossiarch empire and its expansion across Hallost. His contracts, layered legends and campaigns show both the administrative cruelty of the bone-tithe and the force behind it, including a costly confrontation with the Tarkan ogors and plans to exploit the Beastmaw Realmgate.
