Modelling Workshop: Winged Nazgûl

February 2010·pp. 86–89

THE SHORT VERSION

Nick Bayton paints Michael Perry’s new plastic Fell Beast with film reference guiding its dark, unnatural skin. Khaki-lightened black avoids a uniform grey finish, while mottling, purple-tinted scales and pale wing membranes distinguish different surfaces. The detailed guide includes the Ringwraith, reins, claws, tongue and metalwork, and Nick first completes an unconverted example to understand the construction before attempting further alterations.

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.

The White Horse and the White Hand

Adam Troke links five battles in the war between Rohan and Isengard, moving between individual-model skirmishes and company-based War of the Ring engagements. Early victories grant reinforcements or points, rescuing Théodred can preserve him for later battles and casualties at the Deeping Wall alter the final relief. Four scenarios receive printed setup material; the climactic Relief of Helm’s Deep is introduced with a reference to its full rulebook scenario.

A Wolf Among the Horses

Rohan defends a small settlement against raiders entering around its edges, with each side building around specified captains and additional points. Dunlendings gain a temporary attack after a kill, while Rohirrim may ignore wounds through determination. Victory grants extra troops in the later Fords of Isen battle, making the opening skirmish a test of local resistance whose consequences reach the campaign’s larger formations.
