Sisters of Battle

September 2006·p. 97

THE SHORT VERSION

A Canoness, a Sacred Rose Battle Sister and a Hospitaller demonstrate the variety inside the Adepta Sororitas. Warm skin and gold ornament offset the martial armour, while bright red cloth and white undercoats produce the cleaner contrast needed for pale schemes. The accompanying Order badges connect those colour choices to heraldry and remind the painter that non-militant Sisters can also appear in an Inquisitorial force.

News: Eldritch Storm

The Eldar preview introduces a broad reinforcement of the miniature range alongside the revised codex. New War Walkers, Dire Avengers and Aspect Warriors join Farseers and the more aggressive Autarch leader, while Yriel returns as a special character associated with Iyanden. The article presents the design work under Jes Goodwin and hints at a large configurable kit without yet revealing all of the forthcoming rules.

Painting Your Free Models

The beginner’s guide paints a complete Night Goblin regiment in clear stages, using the black undercoat as the robes before adding green skin, red spear shafts, brown details, yellow moon emblems and metal. The Dwarf example adds blue cloth and shield, gold ornament and flesh to the same straightforward method. Neat placement and correcting mistakes take priority over elaborate shading, making the free figures a manageable starting project.

Citadel Toolbox: Army Painting with Flat Drybrushes

Large flat brushes speed up several repetitive stages of painting an army. The examples cover restoring missed areas of black undercoat, overbrushing a brown base while leaving darker shading, applying an all-over ink wash and drybrushing raised detail. The guide connects speed with brush care: keeping paint out of the ferrule and cleaning thoroughly prevents the wide bristles from losing the shape that makes these methods effective.
