Sanguinius, the Great Angel

December 2022·p. 132

THE SHORT VERSION

Sanguinius fights a daemon during the Signus campaign in a deliberately bright-versus-dark composition. Painted gold reflects surrounding colours while pale wings and a highly reflective spear direct attention towards his face, with carefully shaded rocks supporting the angelic figure without competing with it.

Sveldyr Lodge

Joel Day gives Fyreslayers an icy identity after rejecting more conventional ways to make the army distinctive. Their exile story explains extinguished fires, cold runes and a life in the Grymmpeaks, while gaming memories and alliances show how the unusual visual theme supports an active collection rather than a display-only concept.

Artillery Bombardment

The next Battle Doctrines exercises focus on the Scorpius missile tank as a source of bombardment, counter-battery fire and a target for infiltrators. Special force selection and compact scenarios isolate the artillery’s role, encouraging repeated games that test practical positioning and support rather than a standard all-purpose army list.

Deadly Bombardment

An infantry advance attempts to drive a lightly defended artillery detachment from an important position. Scorpius fire earns its own rewards for pinning Line troops and destroying formations, so the defender’s goal is not simply maximum casualties but breaking the momentum of the advancing force.
