In the Spotlight: Kev Lawrence’s Gundabad Orc Army

November 2017·pp. 140–141

THE SHORT VERSION

Kev Lawrence describes building a large Gundabad collection through manageable batches, with character models providing changes of pace. A limited palette ties the warriors together while varied skin and carefully glazed whites distinguish their leaders; layered resin, fish and a crackled icy surface make the display board evoke the frozen landscape around Erebor.

Five Questions: C L Werner
