War of the God-Machines: Legio Praesagius

April 2021·pp. 112–115

THE SHORT VERSION

Owen Patten builds the True Messengers around established Calth battlegroups and named engines. Blue-and-white armour, carefully recorded heraldry and shattered urban bases connect the models to the legion’s fictional history, with House Vornherr Knights supplying a complementary force at a smaller scale.

A gallery explores Metalica through lancers, altered Tech-Priests, Secutarii and weathered war machines. Contributors describe warm whites, red airbrushed armour, electric weapons and oil effects, while a grot-crewed looted Skorpius demonstrates that the same kits can inspire an entirely different army’s inventions.

Golden Demon Winners Challenge: Last Hope

Jonathan De Vos presents Sisters defending ruined ground from a press of Poxwalkers. Contrasting skin tones, cold shadows and concentrated highlights help the figures remain legible, with slime, blood and weathering tying the crowded last-stand composition to its devastated setting.
