PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 352

Painting da Stompa

April 2009·pp. 74–81

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark paints the large model in sections, using smaller crew figures as breaks between major tasks. Masked camouflage, differently aged metals and a green face give the Blood Axe machine its identity. Irregular whitewash and damaged plates suggest repairs by Grots rather than neat factory work. Controlled chipping, dirt and rust finish the model without obscuring its main colours.

Editorial: Different Ways to Play

Mark introduces the mass-battle game as another way to enjoy Middle-earth miniatures. It sits alongside the skirmish system, much as different scales coexist elsewhere in the hobby. He also considers historical forces and games without points limits. A new release becomes an opportunity to reconsider familiar habits and choose formats that suit the group.

Space Marine Veterans Mk II

Juan Diaz’s metal veterans carry varied weapons and equipment. The models can represent squad leaders or several kinds of veteran units. That flexibility lets a collector change their gaming role without replacing the figures. The notice highlights sergeants, Sternguard, command squads and unmounted Vanguard as possibilities.

Hellforged

Fleeing the Imperial Fists, the Soul Drinkers enter an uncharted region. A lifeless world raises questions that Sarpedon’s warriors try to answer through its survivors. Necrons turn that investigation into a struggle for survival. The release notice establishes the next danger faced by the disgraced Chapter.
