Finishing the Hill and Painting the Tower

May 2005·p. 110

THE SHORT VERSION

The hill moves through warm browns and bone highlights before flock breaks up the rock, while the tower’s recesses receive a warmer shade beneath cool grey stone drybrushing. Painted plank lines establish the wooden doors, final white accents lift the masonry and small green patches suggest moss and lichen on an ancient northern building.

Legion of the Damned

Dominic Murray arranges his Terminators around an advancing sergeant as if they have just emerged firing from the warp. A Tomb Guard sword and converted two-headed undead vulture reinforce their deathly identity, while grey-edged black armour, blended flame patterns and brown-to-bone dust weathering make the squad both ominous and visibly battle-worn.
