THE SHORT VERSION

Elliot paints a Drukhari kill team for his wife Sian, using brilliant yellow armour against dark weapons and leather. Ironjawz Yellow receives Ulthuan Grey highlights and a light Casandora Yellow glaze, while Black Templar weapons are highlighted pale and washed back with Nuln Oil. Screaming Skull drybrushing gives the black leather a different texture.

Letters discuss weapon identification, changing Chapter markings and finding a manageable way to finish an army, while the closing model-of-the-month feature brings Thorin’s Company into the fire-lit trees of an early Hobbit scenario.

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.
