Aeldari Runes

March 2025·p. 53

THE SHORT VERSION

Jes distinguishes craftworld world-runes, protective hierograms, divinatory runes and written script. Iyanden’s symbol expresses light in darkness, while Biel-Tan’s evokes rebirth and its ambition to restore the old empire. Examples on Wraithknights, aircraft and infantry connect sculpted markings to Bonesingers, spirit protection, warrior identities and the uncertain remains of ancient Aeldari writing.

Recreating Fred Reed’s Howling Griffons

Jonny Watson recreates the Howling Griffons collection that inspired him in White Dwarf 180 in 1994. He sources old metal Marines, reproduces the quartered yellow-and-red heraldry and banners, and builds terrain and a painted scenic backdrop to echo the original photographs; Fred Reed’s response to the project completes the connection between two generations of hobbyists.
