Painting the Board: Beach and Sea

December 2004·p. 161

THE SHORT VERSION

Successive brown and bone drybrushes build the beach, with small green patches breaking up the sand and helping the dunes meet the surrounding grassland. The sea moves from dark green through Scaly Green to blue shallows, then gains white wave crests and a gloss finish to distinguish water from the matte shore.

Enter the Warp

Mark Chambers previews the rebuilt UK hobby website, explaining how a small team tackled a large but difficult-to-navigate archive. Army homepages, downloadable rules, terrain articles and galleries respond to hobbyists’ requests for both discoverable older content and regular new material, with the launch intended as the beginning of continued development.

Painting Sacred Spawnings

Colour and physical adaptations distinguish the Old Ones’ blessed spawnings: orange, sea-green, yellow, purple and red each express a different patron. Quetzl is represented through thicker scales and bony spurs, while Huanchi’s stealth leaves no recorded marking, encouraging identity through character rather than a uniform painted stripe.
