Chaos Lord Painting Masterclass

May 2009·pp. 90–96

THE SHORT VERSION

Joe turns the Games Day-exclusive Lord into a display model on a slate-covered plinth. Grey and white layers simulate reflective steel, then coloured glazes give the armour an arcane hue. Contrasting cloak surfaces and elaborate freehand gold show how the same controlled brushwork handles different materials. The guide includes both detailed recipes and an explanation of the non-metallic-metal method.

Knight of the Realm

Calard faces greater responsibility after an invasion and his father’s death. His new knightly status offers little respite from threats to Bretonnia. A further terror soon challenges the land’s defenders. The notice continues his story through the duties attached to the title rather than only its prestige.
