Painting Desert Armies

November 2019·p. 54

THE SHORT VERSION

Examples compare camouflage with deliberately contrasting colours, showing how desert bases support the figures above them. A Tallarn Baneblade uses broken brown patches and dusty drybrushing, while an Alaitoc Autarch repeats warm yellow details against blue armour to connect character and environment.

Worlds of Warhammer: Writing the 41st Millennium

Andy Clark explores a setting defined by extreme imagery, desperate faith and morally compromised protagonists. Believable motives and unsettling technological uncertainty make its inhabitants more compelling than simple villains, while new releases and unresolved corners of the galaxy continually offer room for fresh stories.
