[REVIEW: General's Handbook 2021]

A new year means a new General's Handbook, but this year we see some fairly large shakeups to the formula we may have been used to. With the new edition of the game, the General's Handbook has taken on a completely new style closer to what 40k has had for the last year, and I'm a big fan!

[Masterclass Tutorial: Starblood Stalkers]

Skin

I base coat the skin with Ahriman Blue. This is then shaded with watered down Stegadon Scale Green directly in the recesses. Tidy up with Ahriman Blue. First layer of Ahriman Blue plus a little Screaming Skull. Cover most of the raised skin with this. Add in more Screaming Skull and do 2-3 more layers, getting more refined with each one.

Scales

Base coat the scales with Kantor Blue. Paint in the recesses with Leviadon Blue as well as shade a bit of the bottom half of each scale with it. Highlight with Macragge Blue(?), more refined highlight with Calgar Blue(?). Dot highlight with Blue Horror.

(Maybe The Fang was used to highlight instead?)

Crest

Base coat with Blue Horror. Shade with Ahriman Blue, tidy up with Blue Horror. Highlight by mixing in white.

Leather

Base coat with Rhinox Hide, shade with Nuln Oil, highlight with Gorthor Brown then Baneblade Brown.

Feathers

Base coat with Corax White. Coat entire thing with dilluted Iyanden Yellow. Blend in Orange contrast on top and Warpstone Glow contrast on bottom. Highlight with white mixed with a bit of yellow (?)

Base

Mossy ground is base coated with Militarum Green. Mix in a bit of Elysian Green in spots to make it more uneven. Shade with Athonian Camoshade. Highlight with Elysian Green. Mix in Screaming Skull for brighter highlights in spots.

Plants are base coated with Elysian Green, shaded with Ork Flesh, and tidied up with Elysian. Highlight by mixing in Screaming Skull(?)

Rocks are base coated with Dawnstone. Shaded with Nuln Oil, then highlighted with Dawnstone, followed by Grey Seer. Do splotches of Athonian Camoshade for moss effect.

[TUTORIAL: Dark Marble Bases]

When I started on the Stormcast Eternals from Dominion I knew I wanted to give them some unique basing. The main idea is that they're stationed in Lethis in Shyish, so something dark and Death like, but I didn't want to just replicate the same basing as my Death armies. Enter the Dark Marble scheme!

[The "Best" Unique Age of Sigmar Army]

So, how do these brand new additions to the game rank against each other?
