Emma: This colour is all about punch, it’s so bright and powerful. Doomfire Magenta straight out of the pot gives you a vivid pink for cloth or magic spells. It also suits Daughters of Khaine or Escher Gangers if you want some cool pink hair colours.

James created a spectacular feathered rainbow on his Lord of Change by thinning his Contrast paints right down to a glaze consistency with Contrast Medium . Then he applied lots of thin layers onto his Greater Daemon, slightly overlapping layers of Celestium Blue , Dreadful Visage , Sigvald Burgundy , Karandras Green , and more to retain vibrant paint colours while building up a smooth, ‘wet blend’ gradient between each hue. Daniel Veress We’d mopped up the little ones with Saglio’s crossbows, no bother. Then the big one came out of the swamp, reared up and started killing. Horrific it was, like a crocodile tearing up a school of fish. I was the only one that got away. Last thing I saw, it was swallowing Captain Rossi whole." These were fun to paint up, with plenty of fun details. The only issue I ran into painting was that the shoulder pad trim was actually too small for me to follow with my ever-so-slight hand shakes – but otherwise it was a blast. I started from a zenithal highlight and used Kroxigor Scales for the Armor, Wyldwood highlighted with Baneblade brown for straps, Scale Necro Gold, and the new Soulblight Grey wash to cheat some definition out of the tunics. Estelle le Veneaux Adeptus Mechanicus: The Adeptus Mechanicus are a faction of the Imperium of Man that specialize in technology and machines. These models often feature a metallic and mechanical appearance, but some also have scaly and textured components. Kroxigor Scales can be used to create an interesting contrast and help to add more depth to these models.The Skitarii have tiny waists, so I removed a lot of the Cadian bottom parts to make it all fit. I then needed to place slivers of plastic between the legs and torsos to make them a little taller. The joins are disguised with belts, grenades, and pouches I had in my bits box, and with bits of webbing I had clipped off the Cadians.** The heads are from Imperial Navy Breachers, which I happened to have lying around – providing an ornate, sophisticated look. I wanted to take advantage of the heavily armoured look of the Palanite Enforcers , while making use of the coolest Lasguns in the entire Citadel range – those of the Van Saar Gang . After chopping arms, legs, waists, hands, and weaponry left right and centre, I settled on poses I was happy with.

Everyone agreed that the mental load, even for people that had never played before, was lower then 9th ed 40k. No strats, no rerolls. Rolling a 1 to wound or save was actually a meaningful, fun event now. The Seraphon are the protectors of the Great Plan – refugees from the World-that-Was, they floated through the void for aeons until they discovered the Mortal Realms. Under the guidance of the Slann Starmasters, they battle the forces of Chaos to maintain the balance of the astromatrix .

Siraxues High-hivers maintain a tradition of martial sponsorship, as wealthy chem-syndicates win prestige by funding ambitious platoons in highly publicised battles to ascend spireward. The patronage continues when these soldiers are called up, repaid with constant bulletins of victory. Tidy up anything on the skin as needed, but you can get away with a bit of sloppiness due to the organic nature of the model. I then highlighted the skin with pure Deepkin Flesh.
