PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 417

Sector Mechanicus: A Lick of Paint

April 2017·p. 127

THE SHORT VERSION

This fast scenery scheme drybrushes blue and yellow over a dirty metallic foundation rather than carefully laying opaque basecoats over every panel. Pale drybrushing ties the colours together, while separate brass, gold and silver details keep small fittings visible against the weathered structures.

Sector Mechanicus

A close look at the Alchomite Stack, Galvanic Magnavent and Ferratonic Furnace shows how tanks, chimneys, raised platforms, cranes and removable fittings combine. The emphasis is on interchangeable connections and compatibility with existing Imperial scenery, enabling varied industrial battlefields from the same components.

Munitorum Report: Armageddon

A compact history traces Armageddon from the secretly preserved world of Ullanor to Angron’s invasion and Ghazghkull’s two wars. Its sequence stresses the terrible human cost and the continuing destruction of the hive cities rather than presenting the planet’s survival as an uncomplicated success.
