Painting Masters: Joe Tomaszewski

September 2010·pp. 70–75

THE SHORT VERSION

Joe Tomaszewski describes the route from painting Lord of the Rings figures and winning Golden Demon silver to commission work and the ’Eavy Metal team. He contrasts the bold, all-round readability of the studio style with directional lighting and explains why non-metallic metal gives him control over reflections but suits some display contexts better than others. His selected work demonstrates balanced warm and cool colours, reptile-inspired patterns, freehand, digital camouflage and increasingly confident reflective armour across Straken, Sigvald, Tycho, Eldar and other subjects.

Editorial: The Boxes We Remember

Andrew Kenrick remembers Warhammer editions through their boxed armies and the projects they inspired, beginning with sharing the 1992 High Elf and Goblin set with his brother. The Island of Blood rekindles that enthusiasm, tempting him away from his Tomb Kings and making him determined to keep both of its new armies.

News

A studio painting competition rewards the miniature that best expresses Warhammer’s character rather than technical perfection, with Martin Footitt’s converted Ogre Tyrant winning the vote. The news pages also introduce the 2011 School League’s expanded regional heats and War of the Ring format, preview Space Marine’s forge-world action, and describe the online painting, collecting and scenario support accompanying The Island of Blood.

The Island of Blood

Andy Hall opens the new boxed game and asks Ted Williams and Dave Thomas how its contrasting armies were chosen and fitted onto the plastic frames. The elite High Elves and numerous Skaven provide different silhouettes and battlefield roles; mixed frames, push-fit construction and three-part Reavers allow surprisingly elaborate models without sacrificing quantity or accessibility. Character and unit profiles establish Althran’s defenders and Verminkin’s invaders, while the designers explain centrepieces such as Brian Nelson’s Griffon, the Mage’s sculpted fire and the first plastic Skaven weapon teams.
