Lorenzo: Gems, Power Sword and Final Details

September 2009·pp. 48–49

THE SHORT VERSION

Purple gems receive a bright point and narrow reflected highlights. Blue energy lines and a green-turquoise glaze make the sword stand apart from ordinary metal. Hair, lenses and cables add smaller contrasts using their own concise recipes. Several final notes explicitly reuse the earlier metal and stone methods rather than introducing unrelated finishes.

Editorial: Space Hulk Returns

Mark welcomes the return of the classic boarding-action game. Fictional combat transmissions repeatedly interrupt his attempts to discuss the issue. He also celebrates the long-awaited Azhag miniature. The playful format turns the editorial itself into a small part of the Blood Angels’ renewed campaign.

Space Hulk: Boxed Game

Two players control Terminators and the aliens opposing their mission inside an ancient derelict. The box contains the figures, corridor network, counters and timer needed to play. Separate rule and mission books explain the tactical challenges. The notice introduces the complete self-contained game whose development and play are examined later.

Colonel Straken and Gunnery Sergeant Harker

New metal models portray two particularly formidable Catachan veterans. Straken’s bionics and forward-leading pose emphasise his refusal to avoid danger. Harker carries a heavy bolter with the ease of an ordinary rifle. Their release accompanies background and tactical advice explaining the characters’ different forms of leadership.
