PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 356

Facial Details: Ruddy-faced Dwarf

August 2009·p. 98

THE SHORT VERSION

Thin coloured washes add warmth to the nose and cheeks. Including the existing flesh colour prevents the additions looking painted onto the surface. Reapplied highlights connect the new colour to the original face. The effect can also be used sparingly on ears, lips and knuckles.

Grey Seer

Thanquol pursues the Wormstone as a means to poison Altdorf. Success would also raise his standing with the Council of Thirteen. The familiar enemy of Gotrek and Felix becomes the centre of his own adventure. The notice foregrounds the combination of ambition and destructive scheming that defines the character.

Editorial: Campaigns, Tanks and Painting

The editor introduces a month dominated by campaigns and armour. Planetary Empires provides the strategic setting while new tanks and a painting manual support the models themselves. The issue also continues detailed techniques for faces. Gaming projects and painting projects are presented as complementary reasons to return to the hobby table.

Prepare for Conquest: Shroud Ice World

Shroud’s nuclear winter surrounds a geothermal mining economy and a single great hive. Chad paints the tiles separately underneath before assembling the map for its grey-blue finish. Pale drybrushing and a light white spray suggest frost and snow. A turn-taking method for drawing tiles and placing upgrades gives the players a shared way to create their own planet.
