Death World Forests on Alien Worlds

July 2019·p. 53

THE SHORT VERSION

Pink trunks and yellow foliage keep this forest alien even after several muted drybrushes. Cool shaded rocks and differently treated details make the whole copse readable, illustrating how a deliberately unusual foundation can survive weathering and highlights without becoming ordinary woodland.

Echoes from the Warp: Playtesting

Robin describes an iterative cycle of rules, games and revisions before external testers share their own experiences. Competitive organisers and narrative players bring different priorities, but all stress sustained work, careful feedback and the value of knowing how an army should feel as well as how efficiently it wins.

Ravens’ Blood

Captain Atanaxis receives Custodians bearing the means to create Primaris Blood Ravens, a gift whose implications are as unsettling as its promise is welcome. Compliance becomes unavoidable, but he and his Librarian resolve to learn what the accompanying Martian servants know and withhold their findings even from Angelos until they understand more.
