Warriors of Sigmar

April 2012·p. 61

THE SHORT VERSION

Warrior Priests, Arch Lectors and Volkmar bring the Empire’s dominant faith directly onto the battlefield, strengthening soldiers as well as fighting enemies. Flagellants seek their own chosen martyrdom, while Witch Hunters pursue corruption with uncompromising methods. The article contrasts those religious roles and explains why specialised hunters can be especially dangerous to enemy Heroes, Wizards and standard bearers rather than merely acting as another ordinary fighter.

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.
