Read on to see how Adam and Dan got on in playing through the Barrels Out Of Bond scenario – if the laughter coming from the hobby room was any indication, it’s a cracker of a game. With the release of new scenery for Warhammer 40,000, too, Dan’s got busy with his drybrush and has produced a Paint Splatter drybrushing special. It’s an essential guide to this most fundamental of techniques, and he’s now a sworn convert to our range of Dry paints. Why not do some drybruhing of your own and send us pics ofthe fruits of your labours? Enjoy the issue! Void Shield Generators utilise arcane technology to create a force field of immense power. They are often found defending important locations, though it’s not uncommon to drop them from orbit to offer protection to an advancing army. A brooding tower of pipes, cables and forgotten technology, the Void Shield Generator is the epitome of Mechanicus architecture. The generator plinth houses an eclectic mix of old and new technology, from steam-driven cogs to plasma cores and beaten brass reactors, while at the corners of the structure stand four towers topped with energy globes that project the void shield around the building. Between them, the towers also support the generator itself, an ancient-looking piece of equipment that combines ancient technology with Cult Mechanicus ecclesiastical trappings. The Void Shield Generator is made of hard, durable resin, in keeping with the sense of gravitas it exudes. The 10 resin components come pre-cleaned and ready to assemble – simply glue them together with Citadel Super Glue: Thick, get it
