Blood Pact Death Brigades

May 2004·p. 99

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hoare adapts the Lost and the Damned list to represent Blood Pact troops, with Traitors as line infantry and Defilers standing in for Stalk-tanks. A separate Death Brigade squad entry supplies veteran infantry, weapon options, improved assault armour and a squad leader. Purchasing a Veteran Skill moves the squad into Elites. A simple Cadian-and-Raptor-head conversion suggests how to reproduce the distinctive masked soldiers.

Morathi, the Hag Sorceress

Morathi receives a complete character entry as a mounted Lord and powerful Dark Magic caster. Her chosen spells and casting bonus combine with protective blessings and an ability that disrupts enemies in close combat. Heartrender rewards a decisive charge, while Beloved of Khaine changes how nearby Witch Elves use Leadership. Sulephet’s separate profile completes the Dark Pegasus-mounted character.

Collecting Witch Hunters

Graham Davey builds the Order of the Burning Chalice around Battle Sisters supported by an Inquisitor, specialists and extravagant penitent machines. His printed 1,498-point force combines durable infantry, melta-armed Dominions, Arco-flagellants and Exorcists, with faith and selected equipment helping the army function together. The collection grows out of his enthusiasm for John Blanche’s earlier Sisters artwork. Personal conversions and a restrained colour scheme connect the varied models.

Painting the Order of the Burning Chalice

Graham Davey uses warm bone armour and red robes to unify Sisters, Inquisitorial followers and vehicles. The armour progresses from grey through brown to bone, while the robes build up from dark browns to red. Repeating these colours across otherwise unrelated miniatures makes the force appear coherent. The scheme deliberately balances a strong tabletop appearance with the demands of painting an army.
