Paint Splatter: The Exorcists – Classic Style

March 2021·pp. 56–57

Tom Moore builds deep crimson armour over black, deliberately varying the highlights on cloth, weapon casings and armour to distinguish their materials. The tutorial adds luminous lenses and a simple Chapter badge made by extending a skull transfer with painted horns.

Model of the Month: Chapter Master Gabriel Seth

Antonio Procino converts an Intercessor into Gabriel Seth with a Dark Vengeance head and a reconstructed two-part chainsword. The result brings the Flesh Tearers’ imposing Chapter Master into Primaris proportions while retaining his characteristic oversized weapon and aggressive identity.

In the Spotlight: Adam Gladzinski

Adam Gladzinski explains the metallic finishes and vivid green energy of his Necron collection. Controlled glazes build blade transitions, contrasting highlights separate dark machinery from brass and silver, and Tesseract Glow provides a quick luminous effect around power sources and small orbs.
