THE SHORT VERSION

Phil Kelly supplies zombie rules and several explanations for an outbreak, from Nurgle’s plague to psychic puppetry, alien parasites and dangerous plants. Slow movement and fearlessness define the basic horde, with an optional resilience upgrade allowing damaged bodies to keep attacking. Suggestions for combining plastic kits help turn the premise into a modelling project and a scenario suited to the players’ chosen story.

Baptism of Fire: Witch Hunters Designer’s Notes

Graham McNeill and Andy Hoare trace Codex: Witch Hunters from concept meetings to its army list and visual presentation. They connect the Sisters’ older history to the Ordo Hereticus while preserving their Ecclesiarchy identity. Transport restrictions, stronger Acts of Faith and new penitent units address different styles of force. Psychological attacks, adversaries and ambiguous Radical or Puritan beliefs distinguish these Inquisitors from the Daemonhunters.

Painting Masterclass: Sisters of Battle

Mike Dodds, Martin Isaksson and Sam Lee show how red, black, white and metal can produce the six major Orders Militant. Shared demonstrations cover hair, skin and weapons before comparing robes and armour in the principal colours. Controlled mixes and layered highlights distinguish materials within the restricted palette. Alternative schemes encourage readers to apply the methods to their own order rather than simply duplicate a studio uniform.
