Painting Faces: Advanced Techniques

August 2009·pp. 92–99

THE SHORT VERSION

Darren extends the earlier face workshop with different skin tones, species and individual details. Thin layers preserve expression while subtle underlying colour makes flesh appear alive. Age, gender, stubble, tattoos and decay require different placement as well as different mixtures. Demonstrations range from human and Elven faces to Orks, Tau, Zombies and Dwarfs.

Leman Russ Demolisher, Punisher and Executioner

Three turret configurations turn the tank into a siege weapon, high-volume gun platform or plasma-armed relic. The kit also includes the available hull and sponson choices. Extra armour preserves the Demolisher’s familiar robust appearance. The release connects greater assembly flexibility to different tactical requirements.
