Army Workshop: Sisters of Battle

November 2011·pp. 94–101

THE SHORT VERSION

Duncan Rhodes begins with a planned army list so that the Ecclesiarchy’s unusual models appear alongside its armoured Sisters. The Argent Shroud’s bright silver suits his imagined angelic charge, with red and white repeated across the infantry and darker vehicles. Converted Command Squad fittings, a restrained Battle Conclave palette and carefully posed Retributors show how small choices can tie a varied force together.

Editorial

Andrew Kenrick recalls the first Necron miniature arriving with White Dwarf 217 and introduces the race’s much larger return. A new Codex, elite infantry and elaborate vehicles lead into interviews, a painting showcase and a battle against Sicarius. The editorial connects that original surprise with the imagined terror of a tomb world awakening beneath its unsuspecting inhabitants.

An Audience with Sarah Cawkwell

Sarah Cawkwell discusses The Gildar Rift, in which the Silver Skulls confront Huron Blackheart’s Red Corsairs through naval war, ground fighting and politics. Their powerful Prognosticators and willingness to obey unfavourable omens distinguish the Chapter without removing it from Imperial conformity. She also previews Accursed Eternity’s investigation of a suspected daemon ship and her first stories set in the Warhammer world.

The Great Awakening

The Necrontyr’s short lives and bitter dynastic wars lead to the War in Heaven and the C’tan’s offer of immortality. Biotransference gives them enduring metal bodies but consumes their souls; the Silent King later shatters their former gods and orders the long sleep. The awakening now places reconquest in the hands of individual Overlords, with differing fortunes, personalities and losses making the surviving dynasties more than a uniform army of machines.
