Studio examples broaden the theme with Ossiarch bodyguards, a Drukhari kill team, Angmar Werewolves and Inner Circle Companions in several Dark Angels successor heraldries, demonstrating how elite models can carry either coherent army colours or individual identities.

Planet Warhammer

Reader models range from Jakub Bartkowiak’s Yndrasta to Brandon Ryan’s Black Templars, an Emperor’s Children Venomcrawler and a Rune Priest. 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.

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.
