Painting the Sector Imperialis

July 2017·p. 124

THE SHORT VERSION

Dan Harden’s board matches the bases of his Iron Warriors, with different recipes for blue deck plating, sandstone, grey road, brass sepulchres and steel blast doors. A final pale grey drybrush unifies the tiles as accumulated dust, while matching wasteland sections extend the ruined city into surrounding terrain.

New Ways to Get Started

Know No Fear supplies two substantial starter forces, a gaming surface and six introductory missions, while First Strike uses a smaller selection of push-fit Intercessors, Reivers, Plague Marines and Poxwalkers. The preview also introduces the Getting Started magazine and its Primaris miniature, explaining how each format provides a different entry into the hobby.

Primaris Librarian

The new Librarian combines Tacticus armour with the psychic hood, books, keys and ram iconography of the Librarius. Details of his equipment and alternative heads, including a helmeted option, show how the sculpt identifies a trained psyker within the new Primaris range.
