The Blades of Archaon

November 2017·pp. 78–79

THE SHORT VERSION

Rik Turner’s display begins with a desire to build a Chaos fortress and develops into Archaon leading twelve Varanguard through its gate. The scenery frames the airborne centrepiece, while conversions provide Slaaneshi riders absent from the standard parts; the painter credits existing tutorials with helping him complete the demanding character over several weeks.

Dark Millennium Playing Cards

A conventional playing-card deck becomes a small collection of John Blanche’s Imperial imagery. The article describes the contrasting suits and the masquerade-like treatment of Chaos and alien identities, presenting the cards as another way of encountering the artist’s distinctive visual world rather than a new tabletop rules system.

Tales from the Black Library

The book roundup follows several armies into very different kinds of trouble: Blood Angels defend Baal, White Scars face an uncertain Tyranid invasion and Kharadron risk everything on a promising aether-gold discovery. It also previews a Raven Guard audio mission and omnibus editions, summarising the magazine’s introductions rather than claiming to review the full books.

Five Questions: C L Werner

C L Werner contrasts the pragmatic, profit-driven Kharadron with more traditional duardin while discussing Overlords of the Iron Dragon. He describes the challenge of writing stories large enough for the Mortal Realms’ extraordinary environments, his attraction to morally dubious characters and his continuing interest in returning to the Skaven.
