Personalising Through Painting

THE SHORT VERSION

Chapter symbols, scripture, kill marks and painted faces give models individual histories without altering their shapes. Alongside ambitious freehand examples, Chad Mierzwa demonstrates accessible heat damage on a weapon barrel. A metal base and blue wash suggest discolouration, followed by brown drybrushing and a blackened tip. The feature balances elaborate centrepieces with repeatable effects suitable for ordinary troops.
