Dwarfs Civil War

April 2012·p. 73

THE SHORT VERSION

Dwarf clan disputes range from deliberately blunted weapons to ancient grudges fought without restraint. Tunnel conditions, fortified walls and competing Engineers alter the physical battle, while Runesmiths may equip their leaders with extra craftsmanship. A struggle for the last shipment of Bugman’s ale turns a central tavern into a valuable and amusing objective, contrasting the army’s grim honour with its more convivial obsessions.

Chaos Marauder: Human Flesh

Bugman’s Glow supplies a strong warm base for the Marauder’s bare skin before Reikland Fleshshade defines the musculature. Cadian Fleshtone restores the broad raised surfaces and Kislev Flesh picks out the highest details. Leaving the initial wash visible between those layers gives the muscular figure depth without requiring blended paint mixtures.

Beastmen Gor: Tanned Flesh

The Gor’s warm skin progresses from Ratskin Flesh through a Reikland Fleshshade wash to Bestigor Flesh and Ungor Flesh highlights. Its orange-brown starting tone makes the result visibly different from the neighbouring human-flesh example, even though the same wash defines both. Narrow final highlights emphasise the creature’s muscular surface while keeping the darker folds intact.

Bloodletter of Khorne: Red Daemon Flesh

Khorne Red gives the Bloodletter a dark foundation, followed by Wazdakka Red and Squig Orange on increasingly raised areas. A final Bloodletter glaze draws those contrasting layers back towards a saturated red, preserving definition while reducing the chalkiness of the orange highlight. The example demonstrates a glaze acting as a unifying finishing stage rather than a recess wash.
