MODELLING·WHITE DWARF 392

Sculpting & Filling

August 2012·p. 98

THE SHORT VERSION

Small surface bubbles receive a dab of Liquid Green Stuff that can be filed smooth after drying. Larger assembly gaps are filled with two-part putty and blended into nearby detail using a sculpting tool. The guide distinguishes those repair sizes before applying an undercoat, making surface preparation a separate stage rather than hoping paint will hide a poor join.

Modelling Workshop: The Warp Forge

The Studio demonstrates how the new plastic Daemon kits create opportunities beyond their standard assembly. Chad Mierzwa corrupts a Soul Grinder, Matt Hutson uses spare chariot parts for another Herald and Andrew Kenrick carries Plaguebearer details into his Death Guard. The examples connect conversions, leftover components and matching bases, showing how a new unit can change the character of an existing collection as well as add another model.

Soul Grinder of Nurgle

Chad Mierzwa stipples Liquid Green Stuff onto the Soul Grinder’s smooth plates, then presses pock marks into the drying surface and adds small putty pustules. A Chaos Spawn tongue completes the impression of a sick, mutated machine. Separate painting assemblies keep the converted areas accessible, and the finished rust and rough texture match the Plaguebearers accompanying it.

Seeker Chariot of Slaanesh

After assembling a Hellflayer and a Seeker Chariot, Matt Hutson uses remaining components to create a Herald on foot. Spare heads and riders are reserved to vary other Daemonettes and Seekers in the army. The example shows the value of considering a kit’s unused parts across the whole collection rather than treating each finished vehicle as an isolated project.
