Paint Splatter: Painting Syll’Esske

October 2019·pp. 30–31

THE SHORT VERSION

Andrew Palies divides the model into three assemblies before working from large areas toward details. The full guide contrasts pale flesh, several kinds of purple, hard black leather and reflective metals; differences between full layers and edge highlights let repeated colours produce distinct textures, with blue gemstones supplying focused light effects.

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.
