PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 408

Dan’s Wraithknight

December 2013·p. 117

THE SHORT VERSION

Blue, white and green establish a cold Mymeara palette. Dan builds armour highlights before adding individual curling patterns with the edge colour. Keeping the brush moving towards himself maintains a sharp point. Each freehand design grows without a plan, suggesting the unique fingerprints of the Bonesinger who created the construct.

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.
