April 2023·pp. 98–99

THE SHORT VERSION

Rich Butler explains how Angron’s new rules express a demigod of slaughter without removing the opponent’s tactical choices. Speed and two melee profiles make him devastating once engaged, but screens and distractions can delay his preferred targets. Resurrection through Blood Tithe, a choice of nearby effects and the removal of enemy Objective Secured all matter alongside his raw killing power; the complete datasheet accompanies the commentary.

In the Spotlight: Javier Del Rio’s Tyranids

Javier Del Rio uses patterns from nature to emphasise the alien anatomy of his hive fleet. Stippling and mottling add interest to flesh, sometimes disguising imperfect wash pooling. Each weapon receives a different palette because it is a distinct symbiotic organism, then blends gradually into its host so their physical union remains apparent.
