Golden Demon: Iron Hills Captain

January 2019·p. 83

THE SHORT VERSION

A spare chariot captain becomes a shield-bearing single figure with a finely chequered cloak and shield. Blue gemstones, red patterning and blond hair create a balanced triad, while shaded and re-highlighted metals frame the detail. The judges appreciate a distinctive palette and a scenic base that supports rather than overwhelms the small Dwarf.

Painting Question: Seeing Red (and Black)

Jay Goldfinch identifies the pictured Skitarii as Stygies VIII and recommends completing and washing the metals before blocking in the main colours. Separate small recipes cover black robes, a blue undersuit and red armour. The advice lets a reader reproduce a specific kill-team scheme without guessing its colours from the photograph.

Painting Your Armies: Aqshy

A burnt Dryad, glowing Fyreslayers and Chris Peach’s mixed Freeguild collection demonstrate several ways to communicate Aqshy. The examples range from blackened feet and autumnal leaves to skin and weapons that appear permanently aflame. Shared warm accents can unite an army without requiring every model or base to be red and orange.

The Smouldering Lands: Phosphor Plains

A black foundation and crackled Martian Ironearth establish the Phosphor Plains base. Progressively pale flesh-coloured drybrushing picks out the fractured ground, creating a warm, light surface without using the more obvious flowing-lava pattern shown elsewhere in the guide.
