Paint Splatter: House Cawdor

August 2018·pp. 126–127

THE SHORT VERSION

Borja Garcia explains a Cawdor ganger painted in drab clothing with brighter mask and cowl details. Applying all base colours before washes makes the job efficient, while varied grey highlights and a final warm tint on brown cloth distinguish worn materials that might otherwise look too similar.

Painting Masterclass: Markings and Insignia

Studio and ’Eavy Metal painters explain markings as tools for identity and storytelling. Transfers, freehand, camouflage, tattoos and animal patterns each demand a different approach, with planning, reference images and restrained colour choices helping even elaborate designs remain readable on a miniature.

Organic Markings and Checks

Real animals provide a believable starting point for fantasy skin and fur patterns. A mottled eel develops from darker spots that merge along its spine, while a separate check-pattern demonstration begins with a thin grid and removes the unused lines only after alternate squares have been filled.
