Painting Question: Ushoran’s Gold

January 2025·p. 55

THE SHORT VERSION

The studio answers a request for Ushoran’s worn bracelets with three separate metal recipes rather than one universal gold. Brown and near-black shades age coppery gold, green shading enriches a paler gold and burgundy darkens weathered brass. A very thin turquoise wash supplies small verdigris spots that connect the metals to their ancient wearer.

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.

Flashpoint Lethis: The Battle of Lake Lethis

The Grand Necromystic dredges ancient creatures from Lake Lethis and reshapes their bones into enormous siege constructs. While Marshal Yennard’s soldiers hold a breach at great cost, Anton Kreimnar’s Sombre Sons attack the Mortisans and fossil stores rather than reinforcing the wall. The diversion forces the Petrifex to abandon the siege, buying the city time while leaving much of the dangerous bone stockpile in enemy hands.

Flashpoint Lethis: Siege of Lethis

The campaign finale makes five fortifications the focus of a race against the Petrifex advance. Attackers can seize positions and bring destroyed units back through them, while defenders use secure outposts for magical gunfire and arriving reinforcements. Scoring balances held defences, destroyed constructs and an Ossiarch breakthrough to the city walls; faction-specific underdog twists keep both sides in contention.
