Showcase: Cadian mobile command tank & Rough Rider Dirt Bike kitbashes
I was super excited to see the releases of the new guard vehicles. I am particularly keen to get hold of the Hippogriff AFV and Centaur RSV vehicles. I have worked hard over the past few years to grow my Cadian Astra Militarum force and paint it up to a reasonable standard. The force was actually inspired by World War II armoured mechanised divisions. So, I’m very much looking forward to expanding it with these new options.

Review: AK Quick Markers
I’m testing the new Quick Markers from AK, and stacking them up against Speedpaint Markers and the refillable markers from Green Stuff World. AK Quick Markers aim to rival The Army Painter and likewise promise “maximum contrast in a single coat”. However, there is one crucial difference: the design of the tips. Which marker technology comes out on top?
Review: Legio Custodes Venatari Sodality & Coronus Grav-Carrier
The Legio Custodes range continues to grow as more plastic kits join the new-generation Custodes models.
