INTERVIEW·WHITE DWARF 370

War in the Misty Mountains

October 2010·pp. 58–63

THE SHORT VERSION

Adam Troke speaks to Mat Ward and the Perry twins about new models for the Dwarves and their enemies beneath the Misty Mountains. Flói Stonehand expands a name in the Book of Mazarbul into a wise loremaster, while the King’s Champion becomes a furious royal envoy protected by two shield-bearing heralds. Armoured Gundabad Blackshields give the Goblins an elite contingent, and Michael Perry explains the long development of the sleek, tunnel-adapted Cave Drake, designed to look distinct from a wingless Dragon.

Dragon Princes of Caledor

Martin Footitt explains how the new Dragon Princes preserve Jes Goodwin’s established imagery while using sharper sculpting and more components to achieve convincing layered armour. Overhanging horse armour, visible reins and crisp fluting give the cavalry depth, while interchangeable breastplates, helms, lances and shields retain individual character. Contrasts between cloth, mail, plate and horse flesh also make the models rewarding painting subjects.

White Lions of Chrace

Mark Harrison gives the new White Lions an aggressive woodland-fighter identity through forward motion, flowing robes and trailing lion pelts. Their heavy shoulder armour addresses the moment of exposure when swinging a two-handed axe, while repeated Chracian motifs unify the regiment. The accompanying background explains their defence of the mountain passes and their ancient role as the Phoenix Kings’ personal protectors.

Phoenix Guard

Mike Anderson describes the Phoenix Guard design shared with Matt Holland and Neil Langdown, drawing on the original full-length armoured coats and Jes Goodwin’s sketches. Negative space between mail and cloaks makes the garments flow naturally, while closed mouths and a drum communicate the guardians’ vow of silence. Flames, ornate banners and heavy armour reinforce their sacred role at Asuryan’s shrine.
