THE SHORT VERSION

Max Faleij explains how the studio developed a new visual identity that acknowledges the Kin’s predecessors while distinguishing their utilitarian technology from the Imperium. Teal variations, warm equipment and individual markings unify the Greater Thurian League, while restrained weathering, diverse cloned skin tones and identifiable weapon effects turn background concepts into painting decisions.
