PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 426

The Sewerpipe Scoundrels

January 2018·p. 120

THE SHORT VERSION

Jay Clare revisits his first Blood Bowl team with upgraded orange armour and dingy grey clothing. A clear sequence of orange highlights produces the eye-catching sporting element, while the subdued cloth keeps the players recognisably Skaven; his long-term gaming ambition is to recreate a particularly fast childhood Gutter Runner.

Getting Technical: Gems and Alien Blood

The painting reply suggests yellow lenses made by tinting a silver base and finishing it with gloss varnish. It also describes black blood through a dark gloss wash mixed into the blood-effect paint, and a green alternative using a green wash and varnish, demonstrating how existing products can serve unusual effects.

The Year That Was: 2017

The retrospective follows a year of major changes, from Cadia’s fall and Guilliman’s return to the new edition, Primaris reinforcements and Mortarion. It also covers new Mortal Realms armies, Shadespire, Necromunda, Forge World projects and Black Library books, with a parallel month-by-month account of how White Dwarf reported those developments.

Shades of Decay

Members of the painting team explain why Nurgle’s familiar greens and yellows work so well beside raw red and purple wounds. Their examples compare warm and cold palettes, smooth flesh and crisp armour, and neutral areas that prevent busy models becoming overwhelming, demonstrating colour decisions without prescribing a single named-paint recipe.
