Into the Aether: Dan’s Kharadron Colours

October 2019·p. 4

THE SHORT VERSION

Dan Harden answers a reader’s question about his dark Kharadron scheme by separating brasswork, cloth and armour into distinct recipes. Drybrushed metal is completed before the dark areas are restored, while pale blue aether globes and a glossy finish provide small luminous accents against the subdued body 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.

Rules of Engagement: Bad Luck and The Face

Jervis Johnson argues that reliable play requires planning for failed rolls rather than assuming an important attack or charge will succeed. Backup units, conserved resources and preparation for the double turn reduce exposure to bad luck, while recognising frustration and keeping the opponent’s enjoyment in mind make unavoidable defeats more instructive and less unpleasant.
