The Legions of Arkasarekh

November 2024·pp. 10–11

THE SHORT VERSION

Andy Thomas-Clark chooses units that suit Phaeron Empress Arkhassa’s love of intimidation, politics and hunting organic prey. Servants, advisors, bodyguards and super-weapons become extensions of her personality. The palette combines dark washed silver with black weapons and armour, then uses bright green lenses, power cables and glowing metal to focus attention.

Cauldron of War extends 40K into team games and temporary free-for-all alliances, while Grombrindal returns with fourth-edition rules and a coalition of duardin cultures. The popularity of the anniversary miniature prompts a closing invitation to suggest the magazine’s next special model.
