PAINTING GUIDE·WHITE DWARF 359

Easterling Alternatives and Kataphrakt Horses

November 2009·p. 90

THE SHORT VERSION

Blue cloth with silver armour offers one alternative to the familiar red-and-gold combination. Red lacquer and dark green-tinted metal supply two further choices. The horse sequence builds a brown coat and a brighter treatment for its tassels. Shared methods from the infantry keep the cavalry recognisably part of the same force.

Editorial: The Vermin at the Door

Mark writes as an increasingly alarmed Imperial scribe hearing rats outside his study. Jeremy Vetock’s new Skaven book becomes a forbidden scholarly account that confirms the rumours. References to Middle-earth and distant armoured heroes offer brief diversions from the threat. The playful introduction makes Imperial denial part of the issue’s launch theme.

Painting the Ratmen

Nick demonstrates quick sequences for skin, fur, red cloth and metal. A shared brown base ties the organic areas together while brighter highlights retain definition across a regiment. Dark washing gives the armour an aged finish. An additional orange-and-brown treatment suggests rust without replacing the underlying metallic highlights.

In Sauron’s Sinister Service

Mat introduces new Evil profiles for the skirmish game after the previous issue’s formation-battle coverage. Haradrim and Easterling support models are joined by Black Guard, Kardûsh and two distinctive Ringwraiths. Special rules reward positioning, resource management and cooperation between heroes and troops. The article includes profiles, equipment, points and spell information for the featured additions.
