Featured this month is a jaw-dropping, masterfully complete diorama featuring the Crimson Court amongst many zombies in brambles and other undead minis alongside, with Hexbane’s Hunters approaching from a tunnel beneath the ground by Toni Garcia/CHK Minis. The composition is astounding, the technical skill astronomical, and I’m floored by the talent he continues to display.

Also in the news, Val of Straight Outta Shadespire has updated the Community FAQ, which is now in version 2.5. Check it out!

August 5th, Philip Lancashire won the Warhammer World Clash by going 4-0 with Thorns of the Briar Queen BA/DS

Newport open was canceled, but Misfit Guild ran “Realmstride” at Firestorm Games anyway and it sounds like a solid turnout. Winning the event was John Aspinall with Gorechosen Wrack/Reckless (damn straight, it’s a fun one). Amazingly, Blackpowder took second place with BA/Edge! That was piloted by Will McCrorie. Third place was Jon Chambers with Shadeborn.

My homie Saxthom/Thomas from Underworlds Underground held the Smite Club clash August 22nd in Phoenix Arizona. The winner was Paul Hendrick using Elathain’s Soulraid and BA/PP. Look forward to watching this new guy on the scene hit Worlds this November!

August 21st was the Thunderworlds Clash Night, which was won by James Ellis taking the Wurmspat. Also undefeated was Philip Lancashire and The Exiled Dead, and third place went to Rowan Mcghee with Morgok’s Krushas. Special shout-out to Sam Baird taking 4th with Brethren of the Bolt?!

Painting/Hobby

“A Hunter in Shyish”: Aemos Duncarrow and Grotbiter from Hexbane’s Hunters in a stunning diorama, composed and painted masterfully by Alexi Karahaliou

I Am Not Alpharius has these spectral, ghostly purple underlit Khagra’s Ravagers with heavy conversions for us all to admire. Seems every month there’s something fantastic coming off his painting bench! That freehand! All over!

Bright and poppin’ Thyrielle and friends by Matty Manzl. How he did that glittering gold scale armor I’ll never know. And that burning green on the weapons’ pointy bits is to die for.

Zuldrakka the Hateful in beautifully smooth brown cloth and NMM trim and armor by Radonskadat

VicSaizo has completed Kro-Jax and Sotek’s Venomites in tremendously fine brushwork

mroz4 has some stunning Gnarlspirit and it’s as good as we’ve come to expect from this hero of the community. Just look at the blue jeans!

Mauri de la Gándara has finished the Sharpener of the Blade in excellent NMM, creepy flesh tones with the bone head, and pale OSL

Justin Lynch of JML Miniatures has done up the whole of Headsmen’s Curse in a starkly bright yet deep blue fading to black. A similar scheme can be seen here with The Thorns of the Briar Queen, a gritty red NMM Herax Skullgrinder, and these outstanding Dread Pageant boys are the cherry on top for this month!

Andre Lavin has completed Grinkrak’s Looncourt in sharp dark blue

Ro-Tak the Guardian from Jaws of Itzl in a black and rec scheme which really sells the ‘predatory fighters’ angle. Excellent work from Roman Lappat

My homie Wedrall has done up Thyrielle’s Zephyrites in a really sharp orange and blue scheme. Loving the lantern especially!

Mollog ready for his facial closeup by prokletbio

Nexxus82 has a completed Kro-Jax in bone white, like the old scar-vet we know and love

Magore’s Fiends in the classic red and brass by tetlis

SiBarge has Zarbag’s Gitz all wrapped up with a bow, and the dusty basing really helps make it all so effective of a display

You like lightning flares and special effects? Check out these Emberwatch by Real Was gotten. Awesome custom sculpting.

KhaoticLoki has finished a super cool Ennias Curseborn in black flesh and on a very icy set of stairs

Kro Jax with custom scales and NMM by harrryaehutch
