Paint Splatter: Colours of the Vostarg

June 2019·pp. 48–50

THE SHORT VERSION

James Perry compares warm and cool undercoats before using Contrast skin and orange hair to build a Battle Ready Fyreslayer. Further highlights develop flesh, metals and cloth, while cracking black ground over orange produces a lava base; the staged approach lets readers choose how far beyond the initial playable finish to continue.

Readers’ Models: Mark Korogiannis

Mark’s Nurgle collection shows how bright undercoats, thin layers and careful shading can make diseased models both vivid and richly detailed. He explains the appeal of the older Chaos books and stresses patient attention even on gaming pieces, with tutorials and diluted shading continuing to improve his work after decades of painting.

Worlds of Warhammer: Elemental Gods

Phil distinguishes primordial gods from beings that ascended from mortal origins, focusing here on Chaos and Gorkamorka. Their nature, worshippers and affinities with particular realms show how cosmic forces drive stories while remaining recognisable through the ambitions and emotions of ordinary followers.

Reignition

Bael-Grimnir seeks the certainty of battle amid uncertainty about his lodge’s future. A reckless confrontation with Bonesplitterz forces him to depend on help he had resisted, and the return to his family suggests that accepting change may be as necessary as preserving Vostarg tradition.
