The Raid on Ollanz-Mu: Blood Across the Stars

August 2024·p. 124

THE SHORT VERSION

Owen Patten reinforces his World Eaters’ close-assault identity with large jump-pack squads, eight Red Butchers in a Spartan and supporting Apothecaries. Melee Dreadnoughts extend the same theme, while future tanks are intended to support the infantry rather than replace them. Blood-spattered blue-and-white models show a Legion already descending into brutality despite retaining its earlier colours.

Hobby Hangout: Matt Hutson’s Imperial Fists and Sylvaneth

Matt applies the same mustard-yellow palette to Imperial Fists at different scales, changing from crisp edge highlights to stippled battle wear for his Horus Heresy models. His Gnarlroot Sylvaneth instead use drybrushed autumnal bark and bright greens for living and magical areas. The guide documents armour, trim, weapon casings, wood, pale hair and luminous details as distinct but repeatable recipes.

The Raid on Ollanz-Mu

Seven studio collectors expand Legion forces for a campaign in the Ollanz Cluster, a staging area near the crucial route through Beta-Garmon. The introduction recaps the strategic setting and the first instalment’s small collections before presenting the newly enlarged armies. Contrasting plans for armour, infantry, rapid assault and elite intervention show how a shared campaign can support different collecting identities.

The Raid on Ollanz-Mu: Armoured Grace

Rob Crouchley expands the Emperor’s Children around an Armoured Spearhead, applying black-to-purple airbrushed gradients across Predators and a Sicaran. A Proteus carries Palatine Blades in suitably ornate style, while a Kratos supplies a heavy brawler. The planned addition of Tactical Squads in Rhinos acknowledges the need to claim objectives within an otherwise enthusiastic commitment to tanks.
