PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 382

The Seadrake

October 2011·p. 100

THE SHORT VERSION

Pale towers and hull are shaded differently to distinguish warm stone from cold painted surfaces, with blue-grey roofs above them. The separate sails build from deep blue through brighter blue to pale edge highlights, and their runes are picked out in cold white. Painting the three tower-masts apart from the hull preserves access to the ship’s slender detailing.

Ship’s Log

Andrew Kenrick introduces Dreadfleet through the studio’s lunchtime campaign and the rivalry it has generated between writers and designers. The issue follows the boxed game from story and miniatures to tactical advice, two narrated games and a complete painting workshop. He presents the individual warships and their unusual captains as central to its appeal.

Death on the Ocean Waves

Phil Kelly talks to Andy Hall about a self-contained naval adventure driven by Jaego Roth’s revenge against Count Noctilus. John Blanche explains the importance of a convincing haunted setting, while the design discussion connects huge characterful ships, three-dimensional islands and damage cards to unpredictable games. Twelve scenarios teach the system through different adventures, with momentum and manoeuvring requiring captains to plan several turns ahead.

The Grand Alliance

Jaego Roth returns to Sartosa to find his family killed by the supposedly legendary Dreadfleet. Denied official help, he steals the Heldenhammer and raids Zandri to pay other captains to join his pursuit. The Golden Magus, Aranessa Saltspite and Red Brokk bring their own interests to the expedition, with Prince Yrellian encountered later inside the Galleon’s Graveyard.
