Painting Diamonds

April 2007·p. 27

THE SHORT VERSION

Fine crossing lines establish a regular diamond grid before alternating shapes are filled with flat colours. A small highlight at the top of each diamond gives the pattern definition without requiring an elaborate blend throughout. The illustrated method separates geometry from finishing, making the Harlequins’ signature costume pattern easier to reproduce consistently on curved miniature surfaces.

The Harlequins Return

The editorial introduces the Harlequins as guardians of the memory of the Eldar Fall whose performances and warfare are inseparable. Holo-fields, flip-belts and exceptional training explain their elusive battlefield presence. Alongside these dramatic warriors, Foundation Paints promise a practical change to the hobby: solid basecoats that can speed either mass army painting or more elaborate display work.

Foundation Paints: In-store Test Drive

A painted goblin illustrates how four Foundation colours can establish distinct parts of a miniature directly over its undercoat. The short feature introduces the practical basecoating roles of green skin, brown equipment, red weaponry and yellow heraldry. It accompanies the range’s demonstration programme, showing the simple starting scheme that later highlights could develop.
