THE SHORT VERSION

A compact illustrated recipe shows a Canoptek Wraith’s energy source progressing from dark Caliban Green through Moot Green and a bright white centre. Waywatcher Green then glazes the layers together, returning the pale highlight to a glowing green hue. The example gives the newly released model a distinct luminous detail against its mechanical shell.

Intruder Beware

Andrew Kenrick explains how the Necrons’ firepower and a new Studio campaign persuaded him to start a collection of his own. Mat Ward’s invasion of Tanrak supplies scenarios and Apocalypse formations, while his first Tome of Battle expands Storm of Magic. Painting remains another strong theme, with Nihilakh Necrons, more new-range examples and every Empire province represented in the issue.

Army Project: Necrons of the Nihilakh Dynasty

Chris Peach expands his established Nihilakh army to include several differently armed Tomb Blade squadrons, Canoptek Wraiths, Spyders and a Triarch Stalker. He values the resulting options more than fitting everything into one ordinary list, with Apocalypse offering a place for the whole collection. The Stalker demonstrates all the army’s main materials, beginning with a sprayed metallic foundation and dividing into aged silver, rich gold, turquoise armour and bright green power cells.
