THE SHORT VERSION

Studio hobbyists update their 2023 bingo cards with Heresy and skirmish games, Lyle’s new Kraken Blades and Sophie’s Moon Eaters. Matt Hutson explains painting the chassis and armour of two Hawkshroud Armigers separately; Ben Humber gives Hexbane’s Hunters individual accent colours and reflective wet bases. Dan Harden’s Blood Angels Eliminators use angular brown camouflage to match the ash wastes of Armageddon.

Contact

Readers describe how painting supports their wellbeing, returning after long breaks, and building collections with friends. Donal Bisanzio recounts secretly preparing two Heresy armies before surprising Alberto Demarchi with a Nottingham gaming trip; Yvan Tavares explains his softly blended Master Lazarus. The replies also cover the editorial team’s Sylvaneth collection and how the Blood Angels Legion was organised before the Heresy.

Gnarlroot Colours

Matt Hutson answers a reader’s question about his Gnarlroot Sylvaneth by explaining the warm bark and green growth recipes. Mournfang Brown and Agrax Earthshade establish the wood, followed by Bugman’s Glow drybrushing and opaque highlights; Straken Green, Athonian Camoshade and progressively paler highlights supply the contrasting foliage.

Ask Grombrindal: Blood Angels Legion Organisation

The answer describes the Blood Angels before their division into Chapters, when a Legion of roughly 120,000–150,000 warriors arranged its companies within three Spheres. Rank-and-file formations occupied the Third Sphere, command roles the Second, and the First contained orders such as the Sanguinary Guard whose duties also expressed the Legion’s spiritual traditions.
