Vanishing of the Emberwing, Part 2

January 2026·pp. 122–123

THE SHORT VERSION

The first search round leaves Hope’s Forge with a damaged propeller clue and a narrower area in which to locate the missing Kharadron ship. A player diary shows Skaven overwhelming a Khorne force through a concentrated flank attack, demonstrating how individual battle results feed the opposing teams’ wider search.

Paint Splatter: Maggotkin of Nurgle

Emily achieves an iridescent green armour finish with translucent colours over a light metal base, then contrasts it with carefully glazed rotten flesh. The complete guide covers mouldy cloth, rusty chainmail, horns, scars, chipped armour and groundwork, encouraging variation between individual warriors while keeping their materials and palette coherent.

Blighted Wilds

Nathan and Phil construct a corrupted Ghyranite landscape around a ramshackle settlement, corpse mill and diseased trees. Their account follows concept sketches into individually textured masonry, household materials and repurposed miniature parts, showing how architecture and living scenery can share Nurgle imagery without becoming indistinguishable.

The Bridge of Despair

Nathan builds a curved bridge shell before covering it with individually cut and distressed XPVC blocks. Chipped edges, scored grooves and impacts from a rough stone create the irregular masonry texture, making the project a practical example of using repeated small components to disguise a simple underlying structure.
