Satellite Uplink: Psykers, Sorcerers and Supernatural Units

October 2024·pp. 28–31

THE SHORT VERSION

Reader and studio models explore the supernatural through elegant aelven figures, corrupt psykers, ghosts and daemonic machinery. Studio contributors explain a coconut-crab carapace, a Raven Guard successor’s heavily converted Chief Librarian, moss-covered shaman conversions and a Flesh Tearers banner inspired by older codex artwork. Limited palettes and personal references make the individual pieces distinctive.

Editorial

Lyle Lowery introduces Orktober through a battle report that grew from Duncan Waugh’s enthusiasm into a six-player studio project. Each participant builds around a different Ork detachment, while Lyle paints the squig objectives. The editorial connects those personal bursts of excitement with the creative energy behind both hobby projects and the magazine.

Planet Warhammer

Readers share affectionate mishaps, favourite army projects and enthusiasm for The Old World across generations. Oli Musil’s account of rescuing two magazines from bathwater accompanies a Dark Krakens miniature, while other letters discuss the Four Warlords finale and making scenic hills. Painted reader collections and photographs of the studio’s issue 500 celebration broaden the section’s view of hobby life.
