Challenges: Monsters and Machines

May 2024·pp. 12–13

THE SHORT VERSION

The monthly challenge asks participants to finish monsters and machines, while its journal records other club games and painting achievements. The rank system measures continued involvement rather than battlefield results alone. A forward schedule gives painters time to prepare later themes and lets the magazine itself become a record of their hobby year.

Readers recall the magazine issues and friendships that began or sustained their hobby, from Glazer’s Creek to international editions. James Atkinson’s Einhyr Champion and the studio’s Ymyr Conglomerate receive detailed colour recipes, while Philipp Höppner recreates Ghoulslayer with a converted Maleneth. A question about Shu’gohl considers how population, influence and Sigmarite institutions distinguish a City of Sigmar.

Access Granted! Armies on Parade

After a year of leagues and campaigns, the studio Bunker shifts attention toward painting, modelling and Armies on Parade. A planner begins with choosing a faction and story, then develops a palette, estimates construction and painting time and rehearses the finished arrangement. Participants can incorporate those same completed units into their Bunker achievements, connecting a display project to their continuing club activity.

Satellite Uplink

The Rusty Nurgling event brings painters together at the Warhammer cafés in North America and Tokyo, with preparation sessions and constructive feedback accompanying the awards. Selected Dallas–Fort Worth winners illustrate its range of subjects. Studio and reader monsters and machines follow, including a chrome Necron Monolith, a quickly drybrushed Carnosaur and a sharply finished Black Templars Dreadnought.
