THE SHORT VERSION

Studio hobbyists update their bingo cards with Battle Companies, kitbashed Marines, Blood Angels and Heresy projects. Matt Hutson’s Black Templars Redemptor recalls classic John Blanche artwork through its yellow weapon casing, while Ben Humber gives Meridian Shields Eliminators subdued weapons and angular camouflage. Lyle Lowery explains the purple-to-black blends and green highlights that make the Shadeborn appear to dissolve into shadow.

Tom Strutton turns painted miniatures into a photorealistic coloured-pencil still life, connecting his established art practice with a renewed enthusiasm for Warhammer. Readers also ask about a classic Iyanden Farseer and Nagash fiction. Grombrindal’s response to questions about his own temperament adds humour to a gallery of models from several games.

Painting Question: Some Classic Iyanden Colours

The studio translates the palette of an older Iyanden Farseer into the contemporary Citadel range. Separate recipes distinguish neutral black cloth from colder blue-highlighted black armour, while brown shading keeps yellow areas warm. Pale crystalline blades progress through blue-green shading to sharp white highlights, preserving the model’s striking contrast without claiming these were the original historical paints.

Worlds of Warhammer: Online Narrative Campaigns

Leila Craven draws on organising a campaign for more than three hundred players to explain long-distance shared storytelling. Teams, capped submissions and manageable rounds let games, painting, fiction and art contribute without an early runaway winner. A common setting and broad motives create coherence, while narrative updates acknowledge army actions without taking control of other players’ characters. Plot-hook tables offer starting conflicts for either setting.
