PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 423

Paint Splatter: Typhus

October 2017·pp. 120–121

THE SHORT VERSION

Natalie Slinn starts with green undercoat and treats armour, metals, cloth, flesh and flies as different surfaces. Layered greens and pale cloth frame the corroded body, while selective washes and highlights carry the method through horns, exposed flesh and the dark weapon.

Deathshroud Bodyguard

Mortarion’s executioners accompany favoured champions as both protection and a warning that their conduct is being watched. Hooded armour, manreapers, chemical weapons and plague bells combine the Legion’s ancient appearance with its corruption.

Blightlord Terminators

Distorted Cataphractii armour protects exceptionally resilient shock troops. Individual mutations and different axes, flails, launchers and heavy guns give the multipart unit variety while retaining a shared identity as veterans of the Long War.
