Aspects of War: Debt of Blood

June 2025·pp. 78–79

THE SHORT VERSION

Debt of Blood adds optional battle rage to ordinary games, representing a battlefield under Khorne’s influence. A unit can take one, two or three randomly generated melee benefits, ranging from improved attacks to battle-shock pressure. The gamble comes after fighting: surviving enemies cause the enraged unit to suffer increasingly severe mortal wounds. Players must judge whether extra violence will finish the combat or leave their own warriors exposed to the price.

Planet Warhammer

A reader recreates the long-lost 1985 Grombrindal knitting pattern, while other letters explore hobby motivation, fiery Sylvaneth conversions and rediscovered games and magazines. The team clarifies that Bunker activities may repeat within the monthly limit, but a single game counts only once. Reader models include White Lions, Gandalf, Abaddon and Kham, connecting nostalgic stories with present-day painting projects.

Model of the Month: Be’lakor, the Dark Master

Piotr Podolski describes a two-month Be’lakor project combining airbrushed transitions and non-metallic metal. Brown-to-bone wings are unified with crimson and violet glazes, the sword moves through successive blues towards near-white magical light, and cool grey-violet rocks frame the lava beneath him. The named colours explain how he built contrast between the vast wings, supernatural blade and iridescent base.

Hobby Hangout: Basing Inspiration

Dan argues that a base should establish where a miniature belongs and suggest an event beyond its pose. Six worked environments use spare terrain, cork, sprue, coffee stirrers, slate and modelling putty to turn ordinary bases into small scenes. An accompanying reader question explains Kieran’s softly glazed and weathered Knight-Errant armour, showing how subdued colours and streaks can support a convincing setting.
