Kabalite Armour and Brass Details

November 2010·p. 89

THE SHORT VERSION

The Kabal of the Black Heart’s armour starts with a near-black green-blue mixture and gains definition from successively sharper, paler edge highlights. Black recess shading keeps the individual plates distinct and supports the contrast. A companion brass sequence mixes dark metallics with brown before black-brown shading and bright silver-tipped highlights, providing a restrained ornamental counterpoint to the armour.

Editorial: Revelations from the Dark City

Andrew Kenrick welcomes the Dark Eldar’s comprehensive relaunch and the answers it brings to questions left open by their original sparse Codex. He connects the pleasure of discovering their role in the Fall to reading new revelations in the Horus Heresy novels, arguing that carefully developed answers can be as exciting as the setting’s enduring mysteries.

From the Labyrinth Dimension

Jes Goodwin tells Andy Hall how a long redevelopment gave the Dark Eldar room to become a distinct culture and miniature range. Their survival through stolen vitality, loss of psychic gifts and physically manufactured equipment distinguish them from their Craftworld cousins. The interview follows that thinking into serrated Kabalite armour, interchangeable kits, airborne transports and running Wyches, then explains the specialised silhouettes of Reavers, Hellions, Incubi and monstrous Mandrakes. Removable Raider passengers and shared components make the visual ideas useful to collectors as well as evocative.
