This Way Madness Lies

Rik Turner explains how he painted a Chaos Spawn with recognisable human flesh interrupted by raw, bloodied mutations. A conventional layered skin recipe establishes the body; shaded red limbs, a wet blood effect and black extremities then make the transformation look painful and incomplete.

Readers’ Models

The reader gallery ranges from individual infantry to a Raven Guard Land Raider and a Mechanicum Domitar. Its contrasting examples include the Yncarne, Rotigus, a Fungoid Cave-Shaman and Kurnoth Hunters, illustrating how a strong focal colour or carefully staged base can give very different armies a convincing centrepiece.

Model of the Month: Treelord Ancient

Dion Kerr gives his Harvestboon Treelord a lively green finish rather than treating the bark as ordinary brown wood. Pale highlights and blended washes keep the branching silhouette readable, while spare Dryad components and small forest spirits make the base feel like part of a woodland moving with the creature.
