Showcase: The Fright Knights

May 2023·pp. 130–131

THE SHORT VERSION

Stephen May revisits the old Brat Gang idea through the Outcast gang framework. Wealthy alienated nobles adopt Aeldari-inspired fashions alongside Imperial equipment, riding exotic jetbikes and wielding unusual weapons. Their leader’s ambition to carve out an independent principality gives the flamboyant collection a campaign motive beyond simply terrorising the underhive.

Two Tunnels Ablaze

Rob Crouchley follows the Gorvos twins defending Two Tunnels after the Great Darkness lets cultists surge through the underhive. A ring of burning gunk protects their factorum and provides the setting for the studio’s second campaign cycle. Van Saar face the Anathema Helot cult in a costly defeat: even the winners struggle to afford treatment, while Tribune reports record similarly bitter results elsewhere.

Galactic War Hosts: Knightly Crusaders, Part 2

The second Knight gallery collects individual Imperial and Chaos war machines painted and converted by studio hobbyists. Each contributor ties a striking model to its pilot, household or personal history, then explains practical choices in construction or colour. The spread ranges from a walking Dark Angels shrine to weathered renegades and daemonic engines, with compact recipes that make the varied armour and metal treatments reusable.

Wizarding Wonders!

A reader gallery celebrates magical characters in keeping with the issue’s wizard-duel theme. Carlos Gascon Rodriguez’s Be’lakor leads the display, followed by Scott Burns’s Slann Starmaster, Alex Magotti’s Goblin Shaman, Marc Tippler’s Swampcalla Shaman and Pot-grot, and Kev Lawrence’s multiple renditions of Gandalf. The photographs offer contrasting approaches to powerful spellcasters and characterful assistants without supplying named paint recipes.
