PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 441

Colours of Heresy: Word Bearers

April 2019·p. 73

THE SHORT VERSION

A dark foundation and a lighter overhead red establish the armour without requiring a separate all-over armour shade. Metal receives its own dirty wash, and small paper additions create impurity seals that distinguish the figure within an efficiently painted force.

Dan Harden’s Kharadron

Black armour, aged brass and cold blue aethermatics make Barak-Glöm’s skyfleet look at home in lifeless underworlds. A violet wash beneath grey base highlights supplies the decisive Shyish connection, making the environment as important as the miniatures’ clothing.

Eidolon of Mathlann – Aspect of the Storm

John replaces the Eidolon’s fish with skulls to imagine a manifestation summoned from dying Namarti. A skull mask and storm-dark blue-green palette connect the sea spirit to Shyish and borrow the visual language of Nighthaunt.

The Lands of the Dead: The Tombs of Fallen Heroes

The mausoleum guide separates tombs from their bases so that enclosed graves and stonework remain accessible. Cool walls, aged metal and traces of violet establish an underworld setting, while rotating each wall upwards during washing helps prevent streaks and unwanted pooling.
