Painting Bone

January 2006·p. 127

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark Edwards starts the Black Hawks’ pale ornament over Chaos Black with a Vomit Brown and Flesh Wash base. Vomit Brown mixed with Bleached Bone supplies the main highlight, followed by pure Bleached Bone on the sharpest edges. The small recipe retains a warm shaded foundation beneath the pale finish, connecting helmets and decorative elements across his purple-and-black Chapter.

Editorial

Owen Rees reflects on the enlarged Games Day and the practical possibilities of newly available Middle-earth components. He introduces the reorganized Astronomican as a stronger home for clubs, stores and readers’ models, while describing progress on the Tahnelians’ heavy weapons platoon and a converted officer. The editorial also anticipates a staff Mordheim campaign, linking the team’s personal projects with the following months’ coverage.

The News

Andy Hoare previews the expanded Tau armoury, including plastic Sky Rays, Piranhas, XV25 suits and Commander Shadowsun. Other reports introduce Middle-earth component ordering, a Wood Elf stag rider, two Forge World Hellhound variants and the coming Mark of Chaos computer game. A school animation project demonstrates another use for miniatures, while Horus Rising heralds a new fiction series. The news also flags missing profiles in the new Middle-earth rulebooks and a consolidated historical rules release.

The Tau Are Back

Andy Hoare connects the new Tau codex with improvements in plastic manufacture that make Stealth suits and formerly resin vehicles available as plastic kits. The Sky Ray’s seeker missiles depend on allied markerlights, while Piranhas work in fast squadrons to contest objectives. XV25 armour introduces a revised suit with a support-system option, and Shadowsun symbolizes the third expansion. The interview presents the additions as complementary tools within the Tau’s interdependent army.
