Camo Patterns: Masking

January 2025·p. 54

THE SHORT VERSION

Triangular tape masks over a white vehicle produce hard-edged dazzle camouflage through successive grey sprays and changes to the mask layout. A second method rolls adhesive putty into an irregular pattern over pale flesh before applying dark grey. Removing either mask reveals protected base colours, with edges left soft or refined by hand as desired.

Planet Warhammer

A Polish family describes sharing Age of Sigmar across two generations, while readers report successful painting experiments and identify heraldry from an older Deathwatch report. Matt Frieacre recreates Eidolon at Epic scale, and studio painters build scenes inside display cases. The section’s model showcase culminates in a Kasrkin deployment board with a suspended Valkyrie.

Model of the Month: Fast-rope Deployment

Tom Danvers uses the Kasrkin’s rappelling lines to support a Valkyrie above its squad. Experiments establish that six stiff one-millimetre wires can carry the aircraft, while carefully planned model positions tell the story of landing, covering fire and moving into a ruin. A magnetised arm keeps one trooper usable in games, and attaching the support wires before painting demands patient assembly of the finished display.

Fantastic Warhosts: Daughters of Khaine

The feature encourages collectors to create a Khainite temple through its name, realm, loyalties, leader and colours. A Zainthar Kai example ties those choices to existing lore before a wide gallery demonstrates personal interpretations. Natural snakes, tropical birds, red-skinned cultists, armoured Melusai and iridescent scales show how conversions and colour schemes can express a sect’s character.
