Winter

September 2005·p. 67

THE SHORT VERSION

Pale greys, blue-greys and subdued flesh tones give the Elves a spectral winter appearance, balanced by darker wood and brown. The example uses a light bow against the dark body, while a sparse base and exposed plastic roots replace summer vegetation. The text also reminds collectors that Orion’s seasonal nature makes him an awkward choice for a genuinely winter-themed army.

Games Day 2005

The final event guide divides the NEC venue into Forum, Arena and Pavilion areas, identifying activities, displays, gaming tables and signing opportunities. It explains how visitors can find the studio, Golden Demon presentations and participation games rather than simply listing the models for sale. The map emphasizes the unusually broad range of attractions gathered under one roof.

The White Dwarf Team

Guy Haley recounts Bristol Conflict and an unsuccessful Battle Companies challenge, while preparing more Goblin artillery and chariots. Greg MacGregor’s zombie-pirate project accompanies his farewell, Christian Byrne finishes Minotaurs for a Chaos force, and Nick Kyme reports three victories that take the Border Princes campaign. A closing notice also marks Paul Rudge’s departure, making this a mixture of personal hobby results and editorial change.

Painting the Bridge, Base and River

Grey and white drybrushing over Roughcoat establishes the pale masonry, with green streaks and earthy marks suggesting runoff and traffic. The banks progress from Snakebite Leather through lighter browns and bone before flock is attached. Dark green water becomes Scaly Green and blue mixes near the edges, with white streaks and Ardcoat supplying reflected light and shine. Damaged Gondorian figures serve as weathered architectural statues.
