Space Wolves Intercessors: Contrast Style

March 2020·pp. 32–33

THE SHORT VERSION

The Contrast version uses Space Wolves Grey over a light undercoat to establish armour shading quickly, with conventional highlights available for a more polished finish. A pinned separate head makes facial details easier, and the guide demonstrates controlled applications for beards, hair, pack markings and the Chapter’s yellow shoulder pad.

Echoes from the Warp: Bridges Between Playstyles

Elliot Hamer draws on running tournaments and campaign weekends to challenge rigid divisions between narrative and matched play. Thematic armies can still be effective, while adapting to uneven mission conditions tests generalship; discussion between opponents helps combine background, challenge and memorable moments in the same battle.

Index Astartes: Inheritors of Russ

The Space Wolves’ Fenrisian culture, recruitment trials and flexible pack organisation frame the difficult arrival of Primaris reinforcements. Their conduct, shared genetic burden and the Chapter’s desperate losses help win acceptance, while sagas and the evacuation of Sorilia show the newcomers fighting alongside their older brothers.
