The Chil’Blains

September 2019·p. 43

THE SHORT VERSION

Alexandre turns the former Steel Cobras into plague-ridden survivors of a Chaos-tainted ice storm. Quartered bronze-green and white armour preserves their old identity while tying them to a frozen world, with dirty washes unifying the newly invented history and its decaying miniatures.
