Paint Splatter: Ventrillian Nobles

October 2017·pp. 128–129

THE SHORT VERSION

Paul Norton combines Cadian, Scion, Catachan and Freeguild parts into a richly dressed soldier inspired by Chris Peach’s army. Pink cloth, white finery and gold ornament contrast with lacquered black armour, while scratched leather keeps the uniform credible as field equipment.

Deathshroud Bodyguard

Mortarion’s executioners accompany favoured champions as both protection and a warning that their conduct is being watched. Hooded armour, manreapers, chemical weapons and plague bells combine the Legion’s ancient appearance with its corruption.

Blightlord Terminators

Distorted Cataphractii armour protects exceptionally resilient shock troops. Individual mutations and different axes, flails, launchers and heavy guns give the multipart unit variety while retaining a shared identity as veterans of the Long War.

Plague Marines

Multipart infantry combine grotesque growths with the equipment and discipline of experienced soldiers. Repaired weapons, ancient armour and different infections make each warrior individual without losing the impression of a coherent military formation.
