PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 331

Painting Flagellants

July 2007·pp. 40–43

THE SHORT VERSION

Neil Hodgson paints the varied Flagellant figures as individuals within a coherent, weathered band. Different dark cloth basecoats receive a unifying wash before selective highlights restore their character; rust and tinted grey hair add further variation. Flames, parchment, ropes and dirt are treated in separate detail sequences, making a richly accessorised Prophet of Doom stand out without losing the regiment’s ragged common appearance.

Dreams of Conquest

Grombrindal imagines reclaiming the lost Dwarf realm through the new Mighty Empires campaign kit. Territorial ambitions give each battlefield result consequences for settlements, mines and neighbouring rivals. New Empire wizards, Flagellants and artillery offer the human armies their own means of expansion, and the editorial points to the Nemesis Crown battle report as a test of their destructive potential.

Mighty Empires: Empires at War!

Jervis Johnson explains why the new Mighty Empires focuses on linking Warhammer battles instead of becoming a separate strategic game. Successful battles create more opportunities to conquer or develop the map, while the short campaign system is deliberately adaptable. Mark Jones describes the double-sided plastic tiles and restrained sculpted textures that allow the same components to represent many landscapes, making map creation a substantial hobby project in its own right.

Painting Mighty Empires Maps

Four maps demonstrate how colour and modest alterations turn the same tiles into Khemri’s desert, Middenland’s forests, Bretonnia’s farmland or the polluted Dark Lands. Rivers become coastlines, marshes become oases or lava fields, and clipped mountains make volcanoes. Painting techniques range from broad drybrushing to fine water highlights, while preparation advice preserves the tiles’ reversibility and keeps ownership pennants visually clear.
