Black Dragon: Painting the Dreadlord and Throne

August 2011·pp. 86–88

THE SHORT VERSION

Chainmail armour and purple cloth establish the Dreadlord’s scheme, with Tallarn Flesh skin and a brown-gold foundation for ornate details. Black and flesh washes separate the surfaces before brighter silver, gold and skin highlights restore definition. The throne repeats the purple and gold colours, adding a brown seat and bone skull so that the rider’s fittings remain visually linked to the Dragon’s armour.

Shrine of Knowledge: Power Scroll

An official amendment changes the Power Scroll into a one-use arcane item that halves the casting value of a single spell. It costs 35 points and cannot be used with a boosted version of a spell, making the restriction part of the updated rule rather than an optional interpretation.
