PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 408

Adam’s Dark Angels Defence Network

December 2013·p. 114

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam uses his army palette on the fortifications so the scenery belongs with the Dark Angels. An overall dark wash unifies the base colours. Restrained highlights keep the structures from overpowering the troops. Rust and transfers then provide focused detail rather than increasing contrast everywhere.

Stronghold Assault

Fortification datasheets allow walls, bunkers and major gun emplacements to join ordinary armies. Networks group several compatible structures into one selection. Revised building rules and upgrades explain their use. Three siege missions and background accounts provide settings for assaults, demolition attempts and last stands.

Escalation

Sixteen super-heavy machines and gargantuan creatures enter the new Lords of War slot. Their datasheets cover examples from Baneblades to Harridans and Revenant Titans. Eight Altar of War scenarios accompany three Gauntlet challenges. The review presents those units as a new ingredient for regular games rather than the full spectacle of Apocalypse.
