PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 408

Matt’s Mortis Engine

December 2013·p. 116

THE SHORT VERSION

Matt tints white-undercoated spirits red to match his Vampire Counts accent colour. Pale highlights retain their ethereal appearance. A separately primed bone cage receives darker washes and drybrushing. Building and painting in sections makes those contrasting undercoats practical.

A December advent programme promises a new electronic release every day. Its first product collects the existing Munitorum articles with additional sound effects on supported devices. A portable Warhammer rules edition is also announced. The hinted Christmas character remains unnamed, so the archive does not infer its identity.
