THE SHORT VERSION

A mobile Mek workshop, desert-camouflaged Blood Axe buggy and squig-fronted Wartrike demonstrate different interpretations of Ork speed. A flying contraption and an elaborate lunch wagon push the same idea further, using recognisable machinery and humorous crew details to explain each improbable vehicle’s purpose.

Readers share armies, terrain and hobby projects, with questions about Chapter heraldry and miniature painting. A spotlight on Jimbo Warth’s Sylvaneth connects the trees of California to the Mortal Realms, while an Éomer model demonstrates the value of carefully shaded leather and restrained highlights.

In the Spotlight: The Huntspinney of Sequoyya

Jimbo Warth draws on Californian redwood forests for his Sylvaneth, combining warm bark with pale, weathered highlights. Real twigs, leaves and other natural materials make the bases part of the forest, while repeated orange and sepia glazes bring the varied tree-creatures into one coherent collection.

Echoes from the Warp: Keywords

Robin Cruddace explains how keywords organise factions, units and the relationships between rules. Examples show how the system reduces repeated wording and makes abilities easier to target, while the CORE designation illustrates the design decisions behind distinctions that might initially look arbitrary.
