Farsight Enclaves by Ashley Reid

August 2023·pp. 100–101

THE SHORT VERSION

Ashley Reid’s army grows from Phil Kelly’s novels and imagines the Enclaves aiding an Empire that still distrusts them. Dusty Agrellan bases establish the campaign setting beneath red armour and subdued tan cloth. The recipes balance the saturated armour with warm neutral surfaces, retaining the faction’s identity while giving the collection a specific place in the setting.

Contact

Readers describe arriving at Warhammer through fiction, building an original Necron dynasty with family and expanding a Crusade campaign into several subsectors. Andy Muscarello’s Orks, Harry Spry’s Karmon Dynasty and a competition Contemptor illustrate different starting points. Replies also explain Realmscape stone and bronze recipes and why Yvraine’s bond to Ynnead cannot simply be taught as a psychic technique.

Painting Question: Realmscape Terrain

Nathan Trolley explains the studio Realmscape buildings’ pale stone and bronze cladding. Diluted washes over Grey Seer shade the masonry before drybrushing and matching edge highlights restore definition. Bronze receives layered recess colour and bright metallic highlights; the answer specifies heavily diluted paint-medium washes, with the cladding glaze instead feathered out using water.

Ask Grombrindal: Yvraine’s Gift

Grombrindal explains that Yvraine’s ability to bind Aeldari souls to Ynnead comes from her unique connection to the death god. A fragment of its power entered her during Eldrad’s failed awakening ritual, making her a conduit rather than a teacher of a conventional psychic discipline. The answer connects her present role to that exceptional origin.
