SHOWCASE·WHITE DWARF 427

A Whole Lot of Stripes

February 2018·pp. 114–115

THE SHORT VERSION

Piotr Zielinski’s bronze-winning team carries jagged tiger stripes across bright yellow armour, with cool clothing and plumes as counterpoints. Additional stars, staff and referees create a lively extended roster, and the judges stress the consistency required to sustain such an unusual freehand scheme over so many models.

Getting Started With… Blood Bowl

The Swift and the Deadly

Jonathan Taylor-Yorke’s Elfheim Eagles score quickly against John Bull’s Mongrel Horde, but the Renegades answer with protective cages and steadily mounting injuries. Failed Elven dodges and useful Special Play cards let the Horde control the clock for a 2–1 win, despite several of its own players being sent off for fouling.

The Dwarf Giants

Alessandro Marinone’s gold-winning Dwarfs use ornate gold armour against cold blue clothing, with particularly careful transitions on their beards. He describes repeated controlled washes and progressively brighter highlights, using the competition entry as a reason to improve metallic painting across an entire team rather than a single figure.
