Painting Crypt Horrors

October 2016·pp. 112–113

THE SHORT VERSION

James Karch turns one of six Crypt Horror models into a Courtier and experiments with glossy flesh to distinguish these monsters from his usual armoured projects. The recipe layers pale flesh over grey and a gloss wash, then adds crimson warmth, with striking bases kept subordinate to the miniature.

Model of the Month: Stormcast Errant-Questor

The first unhelmeted Stormcast model represents a warrior driven by vengeance or a mysterious vision rather than a directly assigned quest. The background follows the candidate’s seclusion and awakening with special armour and a rune-etched sword, introducing a Warhammer World exclusive character.

The Gothic & the Eldritch

Jes Goodwin reflects on his early sculpting, collaboration with John Blanche and Rick Priestley, and the development of Games Workshop’s visual identities. Shared design vocabularies link Eldar, Marines, Tyranids and Mechanicus models while still allowing distinct units and exceptional characters; the discussion shows how background, colour and practical construction all influence a range.
