Four Warlords: Splinter Fleet Amarok

February 2024·pp. 96–97

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy’s distraction becomes a complete new Tyranid patrol and additional Leviathan organisms, linked in background to an Inquisitor investigating a jungle world. A pale foundation, controlled washes and a broad final drybrush make the creatures efficient to paint as a group, with more vivid claws, carapaces and eyes restored afterwards. His converted Inquisitor borrows a witch-hunter silhouette and a palette inspired by an older codex cover.

Alpha Predators

Lyle welcomes the Insidious Infiltrators, an eleven-model Tyranid patrol built around fast Lictor-type creatures. Its small size makes it appealing as both a new Combat Patrol and the core of a Crusade force. The editorial connects collecting, painting, campaign participation and Bunker achievements as several ways the same modest project can develop.

Access Granted! Bunker on Crusade

The Bunker launches a three-team Crusade campaign using either Tyrannic War or Pariah Nexus. Additional rules let Combat Patrol games support the wider struggle, award campaign points for building and painting units, and prevent friendly infighting from improving a team’s standing. Individual awards for slain warlords, accumulated victory points and wins grant rare relics, giving different kinds of participation their own goals.
