Paint Splatter: Deathwing Redemptor Dreadnought

The Chil’Blains

Alexandre turns the former Steel Cobras into plague-ridden survivors of a Chaos-tainted ice storm. Quartered bronze-green and white armour preserves their old identity while tying them to a frozen world, with dirty washes unifying the newly invented history and its decaying miniatures.

Achilles Ridgerunner
