THE SHORT VERSION

Ben Richardson turns miniature boxes into framed dioramas that merge their printed artwork with real scenery. Alexis Siwa describes Be’lakor’s cool blue wings and daemonic skin, while the studio explains the Slann throne’s sandstone and ancient gold. A question about the Doom of Malan’tai explores psychic feeding, and Matteo Pasquali celebrates finally painting an Inquisitor worthy of his childhood ambition.

Access Granted! Bunker on Crusade

The Bunker campaign moves into its second phase and repeats the additions that allow Combat Patrol and painting to contribute to a team’s progress. Lyle’s Tyranid patrol doubles as the nucleus of a Crusade force, illustrating how one small collection can serve several formats. The rules retain separate personal rewards even when teammates fight each other, while reserving campaign points for battles against rival teams.

Challenges: Elite Units

The monthly painting theme turns to elite units, accompanied by the schedule of future challenges and a record of club achievements. Participants can earn rank through painting and gaming rather than results alone. A continuing total and monthly journal encourage the same project to remain part of a longer hobby record.

The Crusade Campaign: Phase One

The Imperial defenders finish the first Bastior phase ahead despite individual defeats and strong invading armies. Player diaries trace Dan’s Mechanicus learning to hold back and use Protector firepower, Matt’s expanding Telennar collection and Wade’s effective Flesh Tearers veterans. Three awarded relics offer a stronger grenade burst, steadier battle-shock tests or a temporary surge of resilience before the team scores reset for phase two.
