THE SHORT VERSION

Steve introduces a newly spawned creature for his personal Hive Fleet Karkinos. Seraphim Sepia over White Scar establishes the pale base, with Ratskin Flesh and Bestigor Flesh used for the patterned chitin and carapace. Unspecified Contrast paints finish the details, leaving the distinctive spotted body as the unifying fleet feature.

Editorial: An Excess of Excess

Lyle Lowery introduces the Emperor’s Children as a fully realised army with their own models and Codex. The issue approaches Slaanesh through background, Fulgrim’s design and painting, a daemon-supported Combat Patrol and Boarding Actions, while the Aeldari supply both a contrasting philosophy and battlefield opposition.

Planet Warhammer

Reader work includes Mark van Aarde’s Chaos Warriors, Gareth Etherington’s Blood Angels Dreadnought, Neil Hetherington’s Norn Emissary and Grey Maixner’s Nurglings. Letters discuss basing tanks, inventing personal units and taking White Dwarf to Mount Teide. A converted Kruleboy cyclops and an illuminated library for Lorgar show two ways readers make the setting their own.

Model of the Month: Breaka-boss on Mirebrute Troggoth

Toni Garcia converts his favourite Kruleboyz monster into a cyclops inspired by the Fimir. Cool blue-green armour contrasts with warmer vegetation, while a pink-brown mixture and flesh highlights distinguish the Troggoth’s skin from its pale purple-based rider. Moss and grasses extend the army’s theme of using camouflage to ambush intruders.
