PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 379

Urien Rakarth, Haemonculus and Grotesques

July 2011·p. 76

THE SHORT VERSION

Duncan carries the Wrack method onto the coven leaders with more careful highlights but omits the bruises, reasoning that the masters inflict pain rather than receive it. Urien’s black cloak contrasts with his colleague’s stitched skin coat. Grotesques receive extra attention across their larger areas of flesh, while Urien’s background and battlefield benefits explain their role as the force’s heavy bodyguards.

Scrolls of Binding allow every army to acquire new creatures, while the issue explores the book, designers and studio players’ preparations before staging a large demonstration battle. A Cities of Death update and a second report extend the theme of dramatic, unusual engagements into Warhammer 40,000.

Army Workshop: Dark Eldar

Duncan Rhodes builds a coven around Urien Rakarth and the Prophets of Flesh, taking inspiration from their disturbing artwork and six-digit seal. A pale, bruised skin recipe establishes the Wracks before extending to larger creations and leaders with suitable changes. Masked vehicle crews, skin-like sails, shared toxin vials and a connected Wych cult keep the force visually coherent across resin infantry and plastic transports and engines.
