Bunker Bingo: Leman Russ Vanquisher

March 2025·p. 125

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam follows the tank-painting advice from issue 508 on a Leman Russ Vanquisher. He sprays Chaos Black, masks a camouflage pattern with adhesive putty and applies Mechanicus Standard Grey, revealing the hard-edged pattern when the putty is removed. The completed vehicle illustrates the masking method on a recognisable Imperial tank.

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.
