Satellite Uplink: Monsters and Machines

November 2024·pp. 28–31

THE SHORT VERSION

Readers submit a Warstomper, a Mindstealer Sphiranx, a Nightmare Predator and a cultist tank, while the studio takes on its own large projects. Sergi Torras’s Stormfiends use warm skin and yellow cloth, Robin Cruddace makes an elaborate Exorcist manageable through sub-assemblies, and Jes Bickham’s enormous Monolith is painted to look newly awakened from ages of dust.

Editorial

Lyle Lowery introduces a festive issue offering new ways to play with friends. Cauldron of War extends 40K into team games and temporary free-for-all alliances, while Grombrindal returns with fourth-edition rules and a coalition of duardin cultures. The popularity of the anniversary miniature prompts a closing invitation to suggest the magazine’s next special model.

Planet Warhammer

Honza Skypala recalls discovering Warhammer after the fall of communism in Czechoslovakia and learning to paint from a few treasured magazines. Another reader describes returning through Blood Bowl and finding pleasure in a Deathskulls collection. Letters correct the Warhammer Monthly timeline, show a handmade Kill Team medallion and accompany painted models ranging from a Black Templars vehicle to Khazad-dûm Dwarves.

Model of the Month: Teclis and Celennar

Albert Żygadło replaces Celennar’s head with a Mindstealer Sphiranx component and builds a highly expressive green-and-magenta scheme. Airbrushing establishes gradients from dark blue into bright green and from purple shadows into magenta. Fluorescent highlights intensify both colours, giving the large centrepiece a distinctive presence without a named product recipe.
