’Eavy Metal Masterclass: Kor’sarro Khan

November 2009·pp. 94–101

THE SHORT VERSION

Neil paints the White Scars captain through patient layers and carefully controlled blends. Warm reds, fur and gold prevent the predominantly white model from losing its silhouette. The article covers armour, skin, a trophy head, the cloak, weapons, shoulder pads and small details. A wider discussion of white explains why surface, material and underlying colour determine the approach.

Editorial: The Vermin at the Door

Mark writes as an increasingly alarmed Imperial scribe hearing rats outside his study. Jeremy Vetock’s new Skaven book becomes a forbidden scholarly account that confirms the rumours. References to Middle-earth and distant armoured heroes offer brief diversions from the threat. The playful introduction makes Imperial denial part of the issue’s launch theme.

Blood Pact

The novel begins a new Gaunt’s Ghosts story arc with the regiment stationed away from the front. A captured Chaos officer creates a dangerous intelligence problem. His insistence on speaking to Gaunt draws the commissar into events that threaten the apparent respite. The notice presents intrigue and pursuit alongside the series’ familiar military setting.

Innocence Proves Nothing

The sequel to Scourge the Heretic follows Inquisitorial operatives on Scintilla. Their investigation involves two criminal organisations and the danger behind their activities. The protagonists must distinguish ordinary wrongdoing from deeper corruption. The notice connects the novel to the investigative atmosphere of Dark Heresy.
