PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 336

Stage 5: The Prince

December 2007·p. 97

THE SHORT VERSION

The rider is treated as a separate painting project, with four material stages supporting a carefully highlighted face. Blue cloth and a topknot brighten towards ice blue, cream areas move through bone to white and gold gains progressively sharper silver-modified highlights. Several dilute white layers keep the flowing robes smooth. A small face sequence starts from warm brown and finishes with pale flesh mixtures, making the tiny head readable above the Dragon.

Glad Tidings and Great Battles

Grombrindal recommends using the festive season’s new miniatures and free time for shared battles and ambitious hobby work. The issue supplies a complete Middle-earth campaign, concludes Cities Shall Fall and follows the assembled Baneblade into painting. Buildings, a Dragon masterclass and Golden Demon inspiration broaden the choices, while the large Tau battle report demonstrates how several friends’ collections can become one memorable event.

Painting Masters: Mark Lifton

Mark recalls moving from childhood military kits and painting with a metal pin to teaching himself miniature techniques from White Dwarf. Competition setbacks encouraged him to improve rather than stop, eventually producing award-winning duels and narrative conversions. Detailed examples show how altered posture, carefully positioned limbs and tiny base elements make scenes convincing. His discussion of changing colour fashions also reflects the move from bright earlier schemes towards more natural, earthy finishes.

Toolbox: Modular Movement Trays

The guide sizes a tray from the sheet’s twenty- or twenty-five-millimetre grid, then scores and snaps the plastic to suit the unit. Corner pieces establish the frame before straight edges are cut to fit the remaining gaps. Sand and static grass can match the army’s bases, while an open rear conserves components. Careful marking and measuring keep a simple project from being spoiled by an incorrectly sized cut.
