Duncan Rhodes builds a coven around Urien Rakarth and the Prophets of Flesh, taking inspiration from their disturbing artwork and six-digit seal. A pale, bruised skin recipe establishes the Wracks before extending to larger creations and leaders with suitable changes. Masked vehicle crews, skin-like sails, shared toxin vials and a connected Wych cult keep the force visually coherent across resin infantry and plastic transports and engines.
