Death World Hazard Tables

April 2012·pp. 78–79

THE SHORT VERSION

The hazard framework selects one of four tables at the start of each player turn, sometimes allowing either commander to choose the danger. Environmental results affect broad areas, indigenous threats often punish units in cover, seismic events menace open ground and Hellscape effects range from meteors to altered gravity. Kelly advises learning these differences and treating the terrain as another weapon, while the expanded scoring rules let many more kinds of soldiers claim objectives.

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.
