PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 436

A Snap-shot of Life in Lake-town

November 2018·p. 64

THE SHORT VERSION

The Master of Lake-town becomes the focus of a quiet scene before Smaug’s arrival. Subdued supporting figures preserve his importance, with purple robes and turquoise architecture forming a sympathetic palette around an intentionally unheroic central character.

Temporal Distort: March 2009

The portal returns to a magazine dominated by enormous Ork engines and Apocalypse battles. Stompa variants, the linked Assault on Fort Wrath and contemporary Middle-earth developments recall an era of ambitious multi-table stories, providing a precedent for this issue’s enthusiasm for mechanised greenskins.

Boomdakka Snazzwagon

A dangerously obscured driving position, exposed fuel and an unfortunate strapped-on Grot reveal a reckless crew. Rich blue and white armour contrast with warm rust and green flesh, using the Deathskulls scheme to make the vehicle’s visual disorder feel deliberate.

Deffkilla Wartrike

An enormous Speedboss rides a jet-powered chariot whose rear wheels keep its acceleration barely under control. Black plates, blue-grey rubber and khaki leather separate the model’s materials, with red intakes supplying a small speed-obsessed accent rather than overwhelming the Goff identity.
