Paint Splatter: Blood Angels Tactical Marines

October 2016·pp. 122–123

THE SHORT VERSION

A complete Blood Angels recipe uses controlled red recess shading and warm highlights, with different approaches to black cloth, weapons and reflective armour. Further stages cover gold, blood-drop gems, lenses, seals and squad markings, ending with a sand base and advice on keeping yellow details consistent with the armour’s highlights.

Broodcoven

The release preview introduces the Patriarch, Magus and Primus as the cult’s psychic, political and military leaders. The plastic set combines all three with familiars, while the accompanying background explains how their authority emerges as the infected population grows through successive generations.

Goliath Truck

The Goliath is described as an ordinary Imperial industrial vehicle pressed into cult service. The kit can build a troop-carrying truck or a lower, heavier Rockgrinder, whose drilldozer and repurposed mining weapons make a civilian workhorse dangerous to infantry and armoured opponents.
