Painting the Knights of the Legio Invigilata

March 2019·p. 114

THE SHORT VERSION

Separate armour panels allow airbrushed colour transitions, masking and transfers before oil weathering ties the finish together. A dark metallic skeleton and controlled sponge chipping contrast with glossy red and pale heraldic areas, giving the large models the appearance of old, heavily used engines.

Worlds of Warhammer: Making Maps

Phil Kelly builds imaginary landscapes through coastlines, settlements, faction symbols and evocative names. Real maps provide inspiration without dictating the result, while photocopies and deliberately unexplored regions leave room for revision and future stories; his Vigilus sketch shows how this practical process becomes finished studio artwork.

Natalie Slinn’s Sylvaneth

Natalie makes spring growth the unifying idea of her Sylvaneth and Wanderers, using bright greens, pink blossom and fresh magical accents. Younger creatures have ruddy bark while older ones look grey and gnarled, and matching Wyldwoods extend the seasonal identity onto the battlefield.
