Basing Masterclass: Imperial Knight

December 2016·p. 134

THE SHORT VERSION

Tom Hibberd places a Knight among container parts and piled texture to suggest its weight sinking into the battlefield. Corrosion, repeated washes, coloured barrels and crates, and a final unifying drybrush turn spare scenery pieces into convincing industrial wreckage.

A Thousand Sons

The Thousand Sons return with a complete wave of plastic miniatures and the concluding Fenris campaign. The preview contrasts these haunted and mutated warriors with their Heresy-era predecessors and introduces Magnus as the leader of their long-awaited revenge.

New Citadel Sprays

Larger black and white undercoat cans are introduced for substantial projects, alongside a terrain spray and additional coloured sprays. The distinctions between undercoating and laying down a useful starting colour connect the new products to different stages of painting.
