Applying Transfers

June 2013·p. 113

THE SHORT VERSION

Glenn demonstrates transfers using the new Eldar sheet. A clean, glossy surface makes the wet marking easier to position. Careful removal of excess water prevents it drifting before it dries. Medium and a final protective spray seal the result and reduce the contrast between the gloss preparation and the surrounding finish.

Opening Salvo

Jes Bickham places the Eldar release within a busy year of new armies. The enormous Wraithknight and two aircraft provide the month’s most striking additions. Glenn incorporates them into his Ulthwé force for a battle against Necrons. Nick Bayton’s greenskins and a collection of converted tanks supply contrasting hobby projects.

Eldar Wraithknight

The Wraithknight combines immense scale with the curved lines of smaller Eldar constructs. Its living pilot shares the machine with the spirit of a dead twin, giving the armour a tragic identity. Wraithcannons, a suncannon and a ghostglaive offer very different main armaments. Articulated joints and optional locating pins allow collectors to choose between straightforward assembly and more ambitious poses.

Hemlock Wraithfighter

A Spiritseer pilots the Hemlock while distortion weapons and a mindshock pod attack its victims in unsettling ways. The double-delta wings preserve a sleek silhouette despite the unusual armament. Dorsal fins and notched shapes connect the aircraft to seers and ghost warriors. Adam highlights those visual links as well as the craft’s role as a terror weapon.
