PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 472

The Realms of Winter

January 2022·p. 122

THE SHORT VERSION

Cool neutral masonry, blue staining and patches of snow turn ruined buildings into a coherent winter battlefield. Painting one horizontal wall at a time controls Contrast pooling, while warm scorch marks and natural wood offer restrained variation within the otherwise cold scenery.

Paint Splatter: Wyrmblade Kill Teams – Classic Style

A Neophyte Brood-Adept demonstrates muted work clothes, black ribbed armour and stained metallic equipment. Recess-focused shading and increasingly small highlights preserve the model’s details, while separate recipes distinguish goggles, skin, a weapon casing and the bright red blasting charge.
