Rules of Engagement: Realmsphere Manifestations

August 2024·pp. 116–119

THE SHORT VERSION

Jimbo Warth compares the six generic manifestation lores by damage, resilience and utility. Examples explain why positioning and army needs matter: Forbidden Power offers mobility and denial, Aetherwrought Machineries combines disruption with damage, and Primal Energy favours straightforward attacks and healing. Twilit Sorceries, Morbid Conjuration and the Krondspine add further choices, with warnings about fragile spells, friendly casualties and finding space for a large summon.

Spearhead League Hobby Spotlight: Matt Seymour

Matt Seymour uses hot orange-red flame colours against cooler teal and blue to make his Tzeentch models look unnaturally vivid. Pale, pastel bases separate the figures from their surroundings, while non-metallic yellow-gold trim connects the warm and cold areas. Short recipes document flames, teal details, gold trim and the delicately coloured bases.
