Painting Your Models: Colours of the Leviathan

September 2021·pp. 94–96

THE SHORT VERSION

A Tyranid Warrior demonstrates pale flesh shaded pink, dark purple carapace and sharply contrasting claws. Alternative studio schemes show how changes in joint shading, striations and luminous details can create related strains, with the shared organic textures keeping the results recognisably part of Leviathan.

Readers describe the encouragement of their hobby communities during isolation and discuss long-distance family gaming. Questions cover Kharadron salvage and Enforcer colours, while converted Nurgle followers and a muddy Death Rider demonstrate sharply different ways to create atmospheric miniatures.

Conversion Corner: Nurgle’s Fallen Children

Lucas Levieux draws on John Blanche’s art for a corrupted warband with distorted bodies and heavily weathered equipment. Layered flesh colours and sickly glazes unite the figures, while corroded armour and muted clothing make their unnatural anatomy the primary focus.

Painting Question: Palanite Enforcers

A practical response supplies recipes for the distinctive armour and clothing of Palanite Enforcers. Controlled shading and increasingly pale highlights separate the cool uniform from warmer details, offering a repeatable approach for a gang rather than a palette guessed from the finished photographs.
