PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 484

Abhorrant Archregent

January 2023·p. 113

THE SHORT VERSION

Warm initial flesh tones are shifted towards sickly green to suggest decay beneath the Archregent’s skin. Matching the wing membranes to his scrap of clothing supports the unsettling idea that the creature’s former finery has become part of his transformed body.

Of Fang and Fungus

Skragrott sends his followers against the skaven strongholds beneath Ayadah as Brasswhisker’s experiments damage the region’s magical foundations. The grots plan to replace dangerous warpstone contamination with their own fungal influence, and a doomed scout’s glimpse of a monstrous weapon shows what is at stake in the impending underground war.

War in the Minewarrens

A short branching campaign pits Gloomspite invaders against skaven forces secretly divided among three locations. Early victories determine access to the final stronghold and carry rewards into subsequent games; underground battle effects and Path to Glory integration let the same arc serve a brief standalone contest or an ongoing army narrative.
