The Darker Path: Painting and Modelling Relictors

July 2004·pp. 76–79

THE SHORT VERSION

Guy Haley combines restrained grey armour with antique gold and carefully selected Chaos components to give the Relictors a conflicted identity. Individual honours, skull badges and handmade purity seals suggest relic-veneration rather than a uniform fall into Chaos. Dark Angels bodies support an elaborate command squad, and the Librarian and Dreadnought reinforce the chapter’s particular character. Named skin and blue-armour methods accompany the conversions.

Daemon Chariots

The ’Eavy Metal team builds one chariot for each Chaos god using existing components. Khorne’s machine uses an inverted Steam Tank hull, Slaanesh’s combines elegant Elven parts, and Tzeentch’s flies on a platform surrounded by Disc flames. Nurgle’s vehicle joins rough chariot parts to a massive beast and Plaguebearer crew. Component lists make the four examples useful starting points for modelling units without dedicated kits.

Warmaster Terrain: Rivers, Villages and Forests

Tony Hardy’s scenery applies familiar terrain methods at a smaller scale. Foam banks and textured card produce rivers and fords, while buildings and trees grouped on shared bases suggest villages or woodland rather than isolated objects. A ruined house includes an interior and painted cotton-wool smoke. Smaller pieces such as carts, a forge and roadside remains demonstrate that reduced scale need not mean abandoning narrative detail.
