Showcase: The Lost Patrol by Andy Hoare

July 2023·pp. 120–121

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Hoare’s gang represents survivors of the forgotten Badzone Palanite Enforcer Precinct KS Alpha, who abandon the underhive when the Great Darkness releases new horrors. Captain Caesar leads mismatched patrolmen, unreliable cyber-mastiffs and a bewildered enlisted scummer from a Chronos-pattern Ironcrawler that doubles as home and fortress. Their story centres on survival and neutrality as they avoid the wider struggle over Helmawr’s throne.

Sylvaneth Gallery: Blossom, Fungus and Swamp

Anka Sep’s cherry-blossom Tree-Revenants pair soft pinks with pale greens; Steve Barrett’s Ylthari’s Guardians add sculpted fungi and eerie recess colour to a journey through Ulgu. Charlie Raspin cuts and reposes Kurnoth Hunters to suggest deep swamp water and hanging vines, while Peter McMullin gives Drycha a Spiterider helmet and fleshy bark. Named recipes explain the contrasting organic and metal finishes across the four projects.
