Sisters of Silence: Auric Eagle Cadre

October 2019·p. 64

THE SHORT VERSION

The Auric Eagle scheme matches the Studio Custodes through gold armour and red cloth. Layered warm metallics receive a darker wash and a bright final highlight, while the cape’s increasingly light red-orange sequence establishes a strong heraldic counterpart to the blue gemstones shown on the finished model.

Into the Aether: Dan’s Kharadron Colours

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.

Ask Grombrindal: Imperial Currency

Grombrindal explains that the Imperium uses many currencies rather than one reliably interchangeable system. Thrones, crowns, credits and local scripts coexist with trade in supplies, resources and people, reflecting the distances and inconsistencies that make a single everyday monetary standard impractical across so many worlds.

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.
