Lorenzo: Red Armour

September 2009·p. 45

THE SHORT VERSION

A red-and-brown foundation gives Anja precise control of the armour’s colour. Dark recesses and progressively brighter edges establish the form before a red glaze ties the stages together. The advice explains why orange highlights work better than simply adding white. Alternative shading colours can also change the temperature of the finished red.

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.

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.
