Mortarion

October 2019·p. 103

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt Wingrove paints daemon Mortarion in brass and pale armour recalling the Legion’s earlier heraldry, then adds weathering and a warm red cowl. A borrowed scenic base supports his first green-marble attempt, built through sponged dark colour, pale veining and a unifying wash.

Echoes From the Warp: Creating Apocalypse

Robin Cruddace explains four goals behind the standalone mass-battle game: familiarity, shorter play, reduced downtime and an opportunity to use every unit before it is removed. Unit-level resolution, detachment activations, orders and delayed damage all serve those aims, with playtesting adjusting blast markers to prevent armies disappearing too quickly.

Engage and Slay

Andy Clark follows Sister Superior Jessavyn Pheng’s cadre through a seemingly empty hauler in pursuit of the blood-witch Mother Cerynt. Methodical searching, silent communication and psychic immunity support the assault, but darkness and enthralled followers make reaching the quarry costly even after the Sisters have located her sanctum.
