Editorial

I see you shiver with antici…pation!

you’ve come to love; this issue we have an

especially good battle report featuring some

amazing Adeptus Mechanicus and a great little

Space Hulk tutorial I couldn’t bear to not share

with the rest of you.

Welcome to the eighth issue of Firebase

magazine, my fellow faithful aﬁ cionados of

the Warhammer 40,000 universe. I have to

admit to feeling a little as though we outdid

ourselves last issue, regardless we are certain

you will enjoy the fruits of everyone’s labors this

issue. I’m always impressed with the amount

of dedication that my staff and contributors

bring to our magazine, and I hope you take the

time to appreciate their generous endeavors

- without their tireless efforts this publication

would cease to be. Inside you will ﬁ nd the

reviews, tutorials, and quality of battle reports

I hope everyone had a safe and pleasurable

Halloween, personally my favorite holiday. I

was lucky enough to be dressed as an awfully

average looking vampire, ﬂ anked by a striking

vampiress companion this year.

Don’t forget: it’s just a jump to the left…

Staff Work-in-Progress

MATTHEW PHELPS

I must apologise for the lack of Part Two of the

Ruins Tutorial in this issue of Firebase - due to

The Ammobunker taking part at Games Day UK

this year all of my time went into that particular

venture (see the article in this issue for more). I

will, however, be getting back to work on that

to get it ﬁ nished off in time to appear in the

next issue of Firebase.

Post Games Day I’ve been able to get back

to some actual modelling; I ﬁ nished off my

second Dreadnought/Deﬁ ler:

Matthew Phelps: I also started a heavily modiﬁ ed Leman Russ - in these

pictures you can see some of the work done so far, including the new

position of the turret ring, side skirts, forward crew hatches and engine.
