THE SHORT VERSION

The guide defines the techniques and stage labels used in the month’s recipes. Brush choices, undercoats and explanations of washes, layers and glazes provide a practical reference before readers begin the very different textures of a diseased footballer and an elaborately equipped king.

Ancient of Nocturne

Adie Bay converts a Salamanders Ironclad with a banner, fiery halo and fine heraldic additions. Heavy wear creates the impression of a veteran engine, while contrasting talons and carefully controlled brighter details prevent the rich texture from hiding the Dreadnought’s focal points.

Scion of House Rettallic

Lee Bates’s first competition entry combines red lacquered armour and bright metal with unusually deep shoulder details. Watch cogs sit beneath blue-painted energy effects and clear resin, while freehand heraldry and a scenic base give the Knight a strongly individual house identity.

White Scars Predator

Richard France gives a Predator a balance of crisp insignia and accumulated wear. Carefully built thin rust layers and high-contrast details make the light armour readable, illustrating how a vehicle can feel battle-worn while retaining the visual clarity needed for competition display.
