The Ruins of Osgiliath

June–July 2020·pp. 122–125

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt Davies designs an Osgiliath display around buildings with plausible original functions, then constructs ruined docks, streets and barracks from kits and scratch-built sections. Magnetised walkways preserve transportability and gaming access, while submerged ruins, detailed stonework and weathered painting make the board a convincing home for Gothmog’s army.

Captain Nasiem Bal Tergu

Dan Harden converts the first named Tome Keepers captain with a bionic arm, scarred head, distinctive axe and a prominent book. An annotated parts guide combines several marine kits, translating the developing personality of the 3rd Company commander into visible battle damage and carefully chosen equipment.

Tzeentch: Age of Sigmar Painting and Conversions

Fantasy examples explore harmonious colours, vivid magic and unexpected signs of corruption. Steve Wren separates groups of Horrors by their greater daemons’ colours, converted cultists borrow bird features and Harlequin masks, and Ashley Lowe’s Leviadon reveals hidden eyes beneath its shell rather than announcing its taint from every angle.

Tzeentch: Warhammer 40,000 Painting and Conversions

The far-future gallery ranges from a gold-armoured Iskandar Khayon and Rubric bodyguard to colourful Screamers and converted cultists. Magical bases link Scarab Occult Terminators with their effects, while Alexandre Dumillard adapts Corvus Cabal bodies and assorted weapons into a coherent blue-clad Necromunda cult.
