The Palatine Blades

August 2013·p. 148

THE SHORT VERSION

Steve Whitehead’s first finished Palatine Blades return from moulding for a preview. Charnabal swords and elaborate armour identify Fulgrim’s chosen duellists. Winged Legion details mix with more unsettling faces and decorations. The models suggest both ceremonial excellence and the darker identity developing after the Emperor’s Children fall.

Space Hulk Computer Game

Thomas Hentschel Lund explains how Full Control adapts the board game and its Sin of Damnation campaign. Solo play uses Genestealer artificial intelligence, while shared-device and cross-platform modes provide other options. Cooperative play is his particular favourite. The example of Zael’s heavy flamer shows how animation can bring a familiar board-game moment to life.

Forge World Hall of Fame: Dark Eldar Tantalus

Stuart Williamson nominates the Tantalus for maintaining Dark Eldar elegance at a much larger scale. Daren Parrwood describes the responsibility of extending another designer’s established shapes. Sweeping hull lines and a crisp sail preserve that identity. Brass-etched decking solves a problem that would have made delicate resin flooring impractical.

Making Monsters: Reptilian Evolution

Seb Perbet, Matt Holland and Alex Hedström explain the different characters of the new Lustrian monsters. The Carnosaur becomes a stronger apex predator, while cave adaptations and crocodilian details make the Troglodon unsettling. A Bastiladon combines armour from many animals into a living battering ram. Flying piranha imagery and more graceful Terradons show how a shared kit can support very different creatures.
