Dark & Light: Jason’s Moria Goblins

October 2004·p. 129

THE SHORT VERSION

Jason Buyaki develops a quick scheme for a lunchtime-league Goblin horde. Grey mixed into green creates muted skin, dark metallic drybrushing defines armour, and red clothing supplies a repeated accent. A Cave Troll uses the same limited approach at a larger scale, with green scales and pale flesh. Metal captains, the Goblin Drum and Durbûrz provide focal points without slowing down the rank-and-file process.

Games Workshop News

Ogre Kingdoms concept art and the Battle for Macragge starter set lead this month’s previews. Specialist-game support, Forge World Sentinel weapons and Black Library’s Games Day plans broaden the news. A school championship in Nottingham offers a glimpse of organised Middle-earth play, while The Old West outlines posse campaigns and planned expansions. Staff project reports range from Bugman’s terrain to Eldar repainting and large Chaos battles.

Painting the Manflayers

Neil Green’s palette contrasts restrained black armour and purple cloth with several kinds of flesh. Grey highlights define the armour, while warm flesh tones distinguish the living Dark Elves. Their grisly cloaks instead begin with a muddy green-brown mixture, lightened with bone and finally washed green. The short guide gives a coherent way to reproduce the studio regiment’s unsettling appearance.

Of Harad and Umbar

Mat Ward follows Harad’s relationship with Númenor, Gondor and Sauron across successive ages. Tribute, occupation, rebellion and the Kinstrife establish Umbar as a continuing rival of the northern kingdom. The narrative also gives the Hâsharii an increasing role in enforcing the southern rulers’ authority. An extended timeline combines established events with the magazine’s expanded setting and provides hooks for raids, civil wars and campaigns.
