THE SHORT VERSION

Reader questions consider the relationship between Chaos, the Mortal Realms and realmstone, while Waldo Buchner explains the warm flesh and cool hair of his Kragnos. Benoit Bartkowiak’s Gate Crushers celebrate pride flags through individual Space Marines rather than a uniform Chapter palette. A final Seraphon question supplies the pale flesh, blue scales and celestial markings of the studio’s Starborne Kroxigor.

Worlds of Warhammer: Civil War

Nick explores reasons for battles between armies that ostensibly belong to the same faction. Training exercises and commercial disputes can become lethal, while incompatible prophecies, succession struggles and personal rivalries make cooperation fragile even among servants of the same god. Examples range from Stormcast contests and Kharadron contracts to Nighthaunt condemned by Nagash to fight their former allies forever.

Access Granted! Make the Bunker Your Own

Lyle encourages clubs to adapt the Bunker to their own interests, using Blood Bowl leagues, Underworlds events and painting displays as readily as the magazine’s suggested activities. The continuing Crusade framework provides a common campaign structure without prescribing every local game. Combat Patrol participation, painting achievements and battles between teammates retain their distinct personal and team rewards.

Challenges: Psykers, Sorcerers and the Supernatural

The painting challenge turns to models associated with psychic, magical or supernatural power. Its monthly record places completed miniatures alongside games and other hobby achievements, allowing participants to build their Bunker rank through different activities. The continuing schedule gives clubs a shared theme while leaving each painter free to interpret it through a preferred game or collection.
