Painting Sculpted Banners

February 2010·p. 85

THE SHORT VERSION

Tom Winstone works from a Cadian banner’s background towards its raised foreground details, shading the folds throughout rather than merely colouring separate shapes. The gate motif uses non-metallic metal colours so it reads as an embroidered design, and pale parchment receives planned lettering. Thin preliminary text can be corrected before the strokes are strengthened, while the red, black and white fields retain their own controlled highlight sequences.

News: The Angelic Host and More Flights of Fantasy

The Blood Angels’ forthcoming codex and models are previewed through new units such as the Furioso Librarian and the mysterious Sanguinor. Fantasy Flight’s Ascension expands high-level Dark Heresy careers, while Damned Cities continues the Haarlock investigation. A first notice of the Ultramarines film, a historical reenactor’s reading photograph and the conclusion of the Winter Crusade place these announcements alongside wider reader and community activity.

Painting Beastmen

Duncan Rhodes supplies four compact recipes for a battle-ready Gor. Dark brown fur is drybrushed, washed and lightly highlighted, while flesh receives a warm wash and a pale finishing mix. Bone uses a brown foundation and controlled light edges, and metal is black-washed before bright silver highlights. The guide keeps each material distinct while remaining short enough to repeat across an entire herd.

Death from the Skies!

Phil Kelly turns to the attacking side of Planetstrike, beginning with the unusually large allowance for elite and fast units. Concentrated firestorms, accurate arrivals and well-timed stratagem combinations can disable a defender before the main assault. He also explains capturing intact bastions, disrupting counterattacks and using target saturation, emphasising that an army suited to ordinary missions may need substantial changes for an orbital invasion.
