The Battle with Miniatures
Conversions 75
A grusome front cover for a grusome issue. This comes with a metal conversion sprue which is really interesting.
The theme of this issue is Heros of Middle Earth. The concuding article on battle companies is followed by a piece on larger battles and then some company scenarios.
There are then 3 pages of conversions based on the sprues. These are more ideas than full blown guides. One of the sprue pieces is a metal crossbow to use to convert one of the uruk-hai pike men. As I have loads of these that break sooner than looking at them, it is a nice way to breath some life into these damaged models. There are some fists, some wands, some weopons and some heads to change some of the plasic pieces. One great looking one is an old blokes head to put on one of the gondorian models. I'll definately try that one.
Finally theres a new head to add to a plastic ork to turn him into a hero, he has an emergency back up head attached to the spike on his helmet for good measure. All in all a very useful sprue.
The model section just explains about dioramas, and shows you a few. Again not really a guide.
Good set of issues these two. Only 15 to go!
