’Eavy Metal Spotlight: Thousand Sons

November 2016·p. 138

THE SHORT VERSION

Tom Winstone explains the bright matte red of the Heresy-era Thousand Sons, using crisp orange and pale corner highlights rather than extensive blending. Warm gold and red are balanced by cool black weapons, with a glossy wash and dark recesses giving the metallic decoration additional depth.
