THE SHORT VERSION

Alex creates iridescent-looking wings by drybrushing metal over green highlights and applying glossy gemstone paint. A separate purple-grey skin recipe distinguishes flesh from carapace, giving the Plague Drone several clearly different surfaces without demanding advanced blending.

Worlds of Warhammer: Ascended Gods

Phil follows deities whose origins lie in the world before the Mortal Realms, tracing their histories, worshippers and connections to particular realms. Their rivalries, mistakes and continuing ambitions make the pantheon an active source of alliances and conflict rather than a distant religious backdrop.

Rapid Reinforcements

Rik develops a quick method for painting a whole boxed force with red spray, a shared dark wash and successive warm drybrushes. Bone panels and selected details are rebuilt afterwards, balancing a fast army workflow with the colour separation needed to keep the Blood Ravens recognisable.
