Painting Ruins

July 2011·p. 91

THE SHORT VERSION

A sprayed brown-grey mix establishes the ruin before increasingly pale green-grey drybrushes pick out its texture. Circular brush motion helps avoid visible streaks across the architectural detail. The final white-and-Rotting-Flesh pass sharpens the raised surfaces, while black stippling marks bullet holes and broken edges with concentrated battle damage.

Editorial: Storm of Magic

Andrew Kenrick welcomes an expansion built around the monsters and magic he regards as central to Warhammer’s appeal. 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.
