THE SHORT VERSION

Joseph Pascarella describes Long Island Wargames, whose busy Combat Patrol league sits alongside painting competitions, hobby swaps and narrative events. Studio leaders include a Deep-scorch marshal, a red-helmed Chaplain, a converted Custodes captain, an Emperor’s Children swordsman and an Iron Warriors Warpsmith built from Tor Garadon. Short paint notes and the readers’ hero gallery show the breadth of the monthly challenge.

Alpha Predators

Lyle welcomes the Insidious Infiltrators, an eleven-model Tyranid patrol built around fast Lictor-type creatures. Its small size makes it appealing as both a new Combat Patrol and the core of a Crusade force. The editorial connects collecting, painting, campaign participation and Bunker achievements as several ways the same modest project can develop.

Worlds of Warhammer: Ghyran

Phil Kelly explores the Realm of Life beyond the assumption that it is uniformly green and idyllic. Nurgle’s corruption coexists with sacred waters, huge insects and fiercely defended settlements; Hammerhal Ghyra controls growth with imported lava and purifying steam. Accounts of Decrepita, the Shimmerfalls, Cursewood, the Living City, Mosscairn and Slicston reveal contrasting forms of abundance, decay and everyday danger.
