THE SHORT VERSION

Dheneb Stone keeps the parchment distinct from the adjacent Bleached Bone skeleton details. Red and brown washes age it before progressively lighter stone and white highlights restore its folds and edges. For the inscription, Anja plans the word on paper and paints outward from the centre letter, avoiding the common problem of running out of space; the page also notes how reversing the flame sequence suits a sculpted brazier.

The Great Devourer

Adam Troke investigates Robin Cruddace’s new Tyranid codex, its expanded invasion history and its greatly enlarged army roster. Artists and sculptors explain how shared anatomy keeps new creatures recognisably Tyranid while solving practical problems such as heavy Gargoyles and Raveners’ burrowing weapons. Rules discussion emphasises adaptable armies, clearer upgrades and legendary organisms, while painted examples distinguish flesh, chitin and symbiotic weapon beasts.

Subterranean Assault

Aly Morrison and Tom Walton’s plastic Trygon builds on Simon Egan’s Forge World model while sharing proportions with the Carnifex. Its kit makes three distinct monsters: a close-range Trygon, a Synapse-bearing Trygon Prime or a Mawloc whose eruption damages enemies above it. The frame breakdown and design account show how extra armour, posture and variant heads produce both a consistent creature family and meaningful modelling choices.
