Vermin Lord: Skull, Horns, Hooves and Claws

December 2009·pp. 96–97

THE SHORT VERSION

Joe compares dark-to-light blending with a pale base followed by shading. The latter makes the exposed skull and horns stand out without excessive layers. Hooves use a darker sequence and fine vertical lines for texture. Small chips and cracks connect these hard surfaces to the creature’s aged appearance.

Empire and Orc & Goblin Brigades

The Empire bundle gathers state infantry, elite troops, cavalry and artillery. Its greenskin counterpart combines Orcs with several distinct Goblin units and a chariot. Both extend the smaller battalion concept into a much larger starting collection. Their variety allows a player to establish different battlefield roles at once.

Forged by Chaos

The Ravenhost prepares to attack the Empire while seeking greater destructive power. Kormak must venture into the Bastion Stair to help unleash that force. His task risks the wrath of Khorne rather than merely an enemy army. The release links the novel to the conflict surrounding the Order of the Griffon.
