Easterling Infantry: Gold, Red and Banners

November 2009·p. 89

THE SHORT VERSION

Gold is built over a brown-and-metallic base before a flesh wash unifies the finish. The robes use a darker red with restrained shading and pale highlights. A yellow banner and metal blades receive their own short sequences. Nick recommends completing each stage across a small group before moving to the next.

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.
