Renegade Vehicles

April 2022·p. 85

THE SHORT VERSION

Compass-guided freehand creates an eight-pointed star, while crackle texture suggests armour physically corrupted by malign power. Blood handprints, mud and rust complete the transformation, with the methods deliberately retaining enough roughness to suit vehicles maintained by desperate or fanatical crews.

Painting Question: The Null Myriad

The studio supplies recipes for Arkhan’s personal Ossiarch legion, using pale details against black armour and cloth. Purple effects and carefully separated green-black and blue-black highlights give the collection definition while preserving the sinister appearance that prompted the reader’s question.

Model of the Month: Skathach Wraithknight

Christopher Stahl turns the Wraithknight’s attention across its weapons, echoing the poses of smaller Aeldari warriors. Airbrushed blue gradients establish the armour, while pale weapon casings and carefully arranged ruins make the large Iybraesil machine feel deliberate rather than static.
