Azyr Basing: Timeworn Vista

October 2019·p. 39

THE SHORT VERSION

Blue-grey masonry receives a brown wash and a cool drybrush, while exposed soil uses a separate warm sequence. The simple division distinguishes ruined architectural remnants from the ground around them, offering a practical base treatment that can frame a model without competing with its main colours.

Model of the Month: Lord Skreech Verminking

Sam Davies describes a warm bone-coloured skin recipe built from shading, overbrushing and drybrushing, then deepens selected facial and stomach details with a fine brush. Brown fur receives progressively brighter warm drybrushes, giving the enormous daemon-rat contrasting surfaces through straightforward repeatable methods.
