Citadel Toolbox: Static Grass

June 2007·p. 59

THE SHORT VERSION

Small, irregular patches of static grass make a miniature’s base more convincing than a uniform blanket. The guide shows a quick adhesive method for individual models and a broader flocking process for hills, applying contrasting patches before the dominant colour. Recovering excess material and allowing each stage to dry produces a durable landscape whose varied surface resembles natural ground rather than artificial turf.

Modelling Workshop: Warhammer Buildings

Detailed component keys explain how the Fortified Manor combines its chapel, watchtower and courtyard. Optional fittings can turn the same structures into an inn, monastery, merchant’s house or wizard’s residence, while leaving major sections unglued preserves flexibility between games. Suggestions for roads, hills and larger settlements encourage a coherent landscape around the buildings instead of an isolated decorative centrepiece.

Rodicus Blaze, Bright Wizard

Matt builds his flamboyant Bright Wizard around the Strong Fashion Sense flaw, using an Old World Battle Wizard with a swapped Battlemage head and a frog familiar. Red and yellow Contrast-painted robes reinforce the fiery theme without supplying named colours. The accompanying Advanced Arcanist warscroll combines the familiar, a blasting wand and spell mastery with a concealment spell imagined as a cloud of choking ash and cinders.

Toya Jian, Celestial Wizard

Dan turns a spare Freeguild Soul Shepherd into a Celestial Wizard by replacing its head and censer with Battlemage components, then adds a Sylvaneth spite as a familiar. Purple and blue robes, including a blue-grey beard, distinguish the elderly arcanist from his green-clad army. Toya Jian’s example Advanced Arcanist profile pairs magical disruption and improved casting with Celestial Conveyance, a spell that accelerates an allied unit and grants flight.
