PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 362

Space Marine Chapters and Painting Iconography

February 2010·p. 80

THE SHORT VERSION

Darren Latham links a custom Chapter’s name, badge and livery before demonstrating repeatable freehand insignia. A limited contrasting palette and company spot colour establish coherence, while plotted dots, connected outlines and blocked shapes make complicated icons manageable. Transfers and sculpted shoulder-pad symbols offer alternatives, and corrections with the background colour keep repeated badges consistent across an army without requiring a flawless first stroke.
