THE SHORT VERSION
Readers describe returning to the hobby through family painting sessions, sharing miniatures with children and discovering new games. Jerome Dobinson presents the Claws of the Lion, a converted Dark Angels successor force, while other contributions include an unusually unfortunate Hernkyn Yaegir and advice on starting an Astra Militarum collection.
Anton Subbotin’s Lion El’Jonson is the Model of the Month. He explains how controlled black-to-grey transitions preserve the armour’s dark appearance and how non-metallic gold creates its regal finish, stressing patient layering and consistent paint flow.
