Hobby Essentials: Modelling Snow

October 2009·p. 73

THE SHORT VERSION

Mark explains building deep snow over shaped filler or adding lighter deposits in successive layers. Chad mixes the powder with earth-coloured paint and water effects to create wet mud. Nick uses it to suggest froth around fast water or rocks. The examples show one modelling material serving several different surface effects.

Modelling Workshop: Space Wolves

The new frames combine with existing Marines to create varied packs and individual heroes. Posing, head direction and weapon placement communicate temperament as well as battlefield role. Wolf Guard, Lone Wolves and Scouts offer especially broad conversion opportunities. Vehicles then extend the same identity through crew, trophies and Chapter symbols.

Creatures of Iron: Space Wolves Vehicles

The background describes the Chapter’s machines through the language of hunting beasts and legend. Converted examples use crew changes, trophies, etched symbols and parts from other ranges. Skaven blades turn a Dreadnought hand into an aggressive claw. The gallery shows that a few deliberate additions can link otherwise standard vehicles to the army.

Modelling Masters: Studio Scenery

Mark, Dave and Chad discuss terrain built for both photography and games. Familiar plastic buildings become a landing installation, overgrown ruins and a Space Wolves waystation. Scratch-built Orthanc scenery balances film recognition with the needs of a battle. A corrupted Dwarf tower and diseased tree demonstrate more personal invention from collected parts.
