Chariots on Parade

January 2026·pp. 108–121

THE SHORT VERSION

The studio combines a parade judged for painting, conversion and monstrous spectacle with races using the earlier chariot mini-game. Entrants explain how unlikely kits become coherent vehicles, and the lively report records collisions and opportunistic driving alongside the awards, giving clubs a complete model for a themed build-and-play event.

Paint Splatter: Maggotkin of Nurgle

Emily achieves an iridescent green armour finish with translucent colours over a light metal base, then contrasts it with carefully glazed rotten flesh. The complete guide covers mouldy cloth, rusty chainmail, horns, scars, chipped armour and groundwork, encouraging variation between individual warriors while keeping their materials and palette coherent.

Blighted Wilds

Nathan and Phil construct a corrupted Ghyranite landscape around a ramshackle settlement, corpse mill and diseased trees. Their account follows concept sketches into individually textured masonry, household materials and repurposed miniature parts, showing how architecture and living scenery can share Nurgle imagery without becoming indistinguishable.

The Bridge of Despair

Nathan builds a curved bridge shell before covering it with individually cut and distressed XPVC blocks. Chipped edges, scored grooves and impacts from a rough stone create the irregular masonry texture, making the project a practical example of using repeated small components to disguise a simple underlying structure.
