THE SHORT VERSION

Dean Lettice expands a Kill Team project into a full Necron army, using Novokh red armour to distinguish the force. Gold details lend a regal finish, while rusty industrial bases contrast with cleaner bodies and bright green orbs and blades; the article records the named colours behind those focal areas.

Worlds of Warhammer: Victory and Defeat

Nick Horth explains why compelling faction stories need meaningful losses as well as victories. Examples involving Sigmar, Nagash, Archaon and Abaddon show how defeat can generate change or hide a wider plan, preserving each participant’s credibility without reducing the setting to predictable wins or perfectly alternating outcomes.

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.
