THE SHORT VERSION

The studio’s scenery challenge is under way, with the new constructions promised for a future issue. This month’s Bunker also introduces the returning Rusty Nurgling painting event and explains how competitions of any size can bring a community together, whether organised around broad categories, a specific game or a single miniature. The regular elite-unit painting challenge and achievement log accompany the update.

Planet Warhammer

Helen Hickman’s birch- and cherry-blossom-inspired Kurnoth Hunters lead a reader gallery that also includes a knitted Warhammer jumper, a Blood Bowl team and a Carcharodons Predator. Letters celebrate a return to the hobby, children’s first painted models and a remarkably ambitious Angron base containing 2,740 skulls.

He stresses the shared enthusiasm and support available to painters at every level, with preparatory sessions planned for the next event. This instalment presents Tokyo winners including a Crusader, a Freeguild Cavalier-Marshal and a Warbringer Nemesis Titan.

Bunker Bingo 2025

Ben adds a second Neophyte squad made from mixed gang parts to give his cult a more varied, improvised appearance. Dan finishes a long-delayed Plagueburst Crawler with grey armour, a heavy brown wash and weathered brass; their accompanying game ends in a 50–20 victory for Dan after Ben’s risky plasma roll goes wrong. Staff updates also track Iron Warriors, Sons of Horus and completed bingo cards.
