Kill Team Focus: Ben’s Fellgor Ravagers

May 2025·pp. 116–117

THE SHORT VERSION

Ben gives every Ravager a different fur colour and relies heavily on drybrushing to pick up the sculpted texture. Black, dark brown and light brown sequences use different preparations but share a rough, practical finish, followed by blood splatters. The varied coats make the individual beastmen stand out without breaking the visual unity of their team.

Hive Smasha: Ork Gargant

Simon Coquin spends six months building a vast Gargant inspired by the Epic Great Gargant, using plasticard and accumulated parts. Leadbelcher and pale underlayers support airbrushed blue panels, while Martian Ironearth, sponged browns and orange, and metallic stippling create thick corrosion. Killa Kan turrets, a reactor cover and a Warhound weapon convey the project’s scale and his ambition to face a Warlord Titan.

Heralds of Nurgle: Plague Marines

Fil replaces conventional edge highlights with sponge work on his Plague Marines. Chaos Black and a Death Guard Green zenithal spray establish the surface, then Elysian Green and Nurgling Green build uneven highlights before a heavy Agrax Earthshade wash ties them together. The method uses roughness as a deliberate part of the diseased armour’s appearance.

Heralds of Nurgle: Rotigus

Callum starts Rotigus with Wraithbone and Skeleton Horde, then returns to pale highlights to build the main flesh tone. Plaguebearer Flesh, Biel-Tan Green and Drakenhof Nightshade separate diseased areas from that warmer skin. The restricted recipe makes the enormous daemon readable while preserving the contrast between pallid bulk and corrupted patches.
