PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 356

Facial Details: Marauder Tattoo

August 2009·p. 99

THE SHORT VERSION

The design is planned on paper before a thin dark outline establishes its position. Blue and flesh colours make the final mark less severe than pure black. A skin-toned highlight helps it appear embedded rather than resting on top. Varying saturation and darkness can imply an older or newer tattoo.

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.
