Brush Tips: Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear

August 2021·pp. 24–25

THE SHORT VERSION

Natalie Slinn chooses polished white gold and cool blue details to make Yndrasta look like an angel descending from above. Selective shadows, reflective highlights and warm touches on the wing tips preserve natural material qualities, while red cloth and white hair guide the viewer towards her face.

Painting Question: Sandstone Walls

A sandstone terrain recipe begins with a warm pale undercoat and bone base, followed by a diluted sepia wash. The advice stresses laying each wall section flat while it dries, then using pale drybrushing to restore highlights without leaving uneven tide marks across the masonry.

Model of the Month: Mega-Gargant

Fabien Roche alters a Mega-Gargant to make its character suit a noble Stormcast army. The expanded scenic work and extensive conversion are supported by carefully shaded skin, with small wounds, pimples and folds picked out individually to keep the large creature visually convincing.
