Weather the Storm

April 2012·pp. 84–85

THE SHORT VERSION

Weather the Storm rewards preserving units and destroying the enemy while a confused deployment and repeated lightning threaten both sides. Randomly assigned starting sectors disrupt neat battle lines, and the deafening conditions make units test morale on their majority Leadership rather than simply relying on an attached Hero. Kelly also suggests changing the narrative of hazards or the randomiser to suit particular planets, keeping the mechanics useful across ice, jungle and Daemon worlds.

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.
