Sons of the Warmaster

June–July 2020·pp. 64–71

THE SHORT VERSION

Simon Elsen’s Sons of Horus army grows from enthusiasm for the novels into a collection of named legionaries and converted characters. Airbrushed sea-green armour, chipped surfaces and consistent recipes unite infantry, magnetised vehicles and inventive jetbikes, while his account traces the development of a painting style he now uses with confidence.

The Jade Eye

Dan’s Cypher Lords gain confidence and add a Mindstealer Sphiranx painted to echo their bright green details. The narrative questions whether the creature adapted to its masters or manipulated them all along, while new conversions prepare the band to replace a badly injured Luminate.

The Joyous Amputation

Jonathan’s Unmade begin winning successive games and expand their available force through dominated territories. A Slaughterpriest adds a durable bodyguard for the Blissful One, while Furies and another Joyous One are planned to improve speed and multiply the warband’s dangerous follow-up attacks.

The Penumbral Hunters

Matt adds an Ogroid Myrmidon to compensate for the Corvus Cabal’s fragility and limited staying power. More converted warriors use alternative arms and swapped hands to avoid repetition, while future monster ideas show how campaign expansion can lead beyond the original warband kit.
