Painting the Waaagh!: Contrast Style

May 2020·pp. 30–31

THE SHORT VERSION

A light Wraithbone foundation supports quick Contrast skin, dark clothes and equipment on a second Goff Nob. James compares lighter and darker greenskins, uses conventional highlights where useful and explains simple dirt and damage, showing how the method can coexist with classic painting in the same army.

Worlds of Warhammer: Many Ways to War

Phil Kelly follows memorable miniatures between skirmishes, larger armies and entirely different games. A heroic grot, Chaos warbands, converted ogors and Underworlds fighters show how new basing, shared colours and a little imagination can refresh an existing collection and give old models further stories.

Index Xenos: Goff Orks

The Goffs’ culture prizes brute strength, close combat and severe black wargear over ostentatious display. Their hierarchy, battle organisation and iconic leaders frame a chronicle of destructive campaigns, including Ghazghkull’s resurgence, Grukk Face-rippa and Boss Zagstruk, with Imperial reports conveying the threat behind the greenskins’ exuberance.
