Modelling Workshop: Personalising Your Army

THE SHORT VERSION

Chad Mierzwa demonstrates how posing, kit-bashing, painting and basing can turn an ordinary collection into a coherent personal army. Small choices such as matching the head and weapon direction make a model’s action readable; drilled barrels and restrained damage add convincing detail. Painted markings and heat-stained guns complement rubble, mesh and razorwire bases. The closing showcase combines these methods across very different factions rather than prescribing a single army theme.
