REVIEW·WHITE DWARF 403

Skarsnik

July 2013·p. 44

THE SHORT VERSION

Guy Haley shows Goblins from a much more frightening perspective than the usual tabletop joke. Playwright Jeremiah von Bickenstadt becomes an unwilling witness to their world. Skarsnik’s awareness and ambition emerge alongside the violence. Dan especially values the novel’s exploration of Goblin culture and the danger of encountering a horde at ground level.

Khorne Lord of Skulls

Andrew Kenrick finds the tracked Daemon Engine both enormous and straightforward to assemble. Khorne symbols, layered armour and countless skulls tie it to the existing Chaos range. Several head and gun options allow different arrangements of the same menacing silhouette. The fold-out introduces the machinery and weapons behind its single-minded battlefield purpose.

Necron Tesseract Vault

A star god struggles at the centre of a vast, partly disassembled metal prison. Canoptek creatures continually repair the damage it causes, making the kit’s structure part of its story. Forty loose Scarabs allow collectors to add activity around the exterior. Jes sees the Vault as a dramatic centrepiece that remains surprisingly simple to construct.

Transcendent C’tan

The captive C’tan can be assembled separately if the larger kit is built as an Obelisk. Energy ribbons and restraints make it a striking companion to the established star-god shards. Its release is described as a desperate and dangerous Necron decision. A light undercoat and washes are suggested as a quick approach, without naming individual paints here.
