Satellite Uplink: Elite Units

September 2024·pp. 36–41

THE SHORT VERSION

The Grand Strategium explains its No Army Required initiative, shared collections, introductory workshops and compact league games. Reader elite units lead into studio work ranging from black-armoured Terminators and Contrast-painted grots to pale Stormcasts and pink Wraithguard. Contributors describe personal heraldry, a shared green recipe and how an apparently random palette unexpectedly echoed a Rogue Trader mercenary force.

Editorial

Lyle Lowery celebrates the inventive Kroot collecting community and introduces an issue built around its favourite species. The new miniature range supplies an opportunity for fresh fiction, a dedicated Combat Patrol, mercenary Crusade rules and a hunting mini-game. He singles out Predators and Prey as an example of inspiration producing a distinctive tabletop experience.

Planet Warhammer

The expanded reader section combines affection for older issues with reports of current hobby activity. A long-time collector describes rebuilding a magazine collection, readers welcome Spearhead and Legions Imperialis, and photographed models range from a vivid Lumineth character to a complete blue-and-yellow Mechanicus patrol. A digital diorama contest and a tightly fought studio Underworlds final show other forms of creative competition.

Model of the Month: Vanari Lord Regent

Martin Orlando combines new Lumineth imagery with a classic High Elf silhouette through Dragon Prince components. Older fantasy art informs the skin and eyes, while Elrond’s film armour inspires the red-and-silver palette. Saturated colours and carefully blended purple shading give the model its reflective finish, showing how references from several sources can become one coherent personal scheme.
