Battle Missions: Death Worlds

April 2012·pp. 75–85

THE SHORT VERSION

Phil Kelly provides an expansion for fighting where the planet itself threatens both armies. A random hazard system covers weather, hostile organisms, unstable ground and stranger phenomena, while three missions give those dangers different tactical purposes. Broadening the kinds of units that can score and letting players manipulate some hazard choices makes adaptation to the environment part of the battle rather than merely an occasional random interruption.

Dark Eldar Wrack: Pallid Flesh

A Wrack’s unusually pale flesh begins with Rakarth Flesh and a warm Reikland Fleshshade wash. Restoring the raised areas with Pallid Wych Flesh and then White Scar leaves the warmth in the recesses while giving the skin a cold, almost bloodless finish. The example shows how only a few carefully placed layers can distinguish exposed anatomy from the surrounding dark equipment.

Bloodletter of Khorne: Red Daemon Flesh

Khorne Red gives the Bloodletter a dark foundation, followed by Wazdakka Red and Squig Orange on increasingly raised areas. A final Bloodletter glaze draws those contrasting layers back towards a saturated red, preserving definition while reducing the chalkiness of the orange highlight. The example demonstrates a glaze acting as a unifying finishing stage rather than a recess wash.

Fire Dragon: Orange Aspect Armour

The Fire Dragon’s armour starts with the strong coverage of Jokaero Orange, then receives Reikland Fleshshade to separate its plates. Troll Slayer Orange and Fire Dragon Bright build a vivid orange surface above the darker joints. The sequence uses the range’s adjacent tones to produce readable bright armour without mixing several intermediate shades.
