THE SHORT VERSION

A hidden garden painting retreat and reader galleries introduce projects ranging from Lord Kroak to carefully converted undead. Questions about Morathi’s stolen souls and a dark Bonereaper legion connect background to practical modelling, alongside an unusually poised Aeldari war machine.

Painting Question: The Null Myriad

The studio supplies recipes for Arkhan’s personal Ossiarch legion, using pale details against black armour and cloth. Purple effects and carefully separated green-black and blue-black highlights give the collection definition while preserving the sinister appearance that prompted the reader’s question.

Model of the Month: Skathach Wraithknight

Christopher Stahl turns the Wraithknight’s attention across its weapons, echoing the poses of smaller Aeldari warriors. Airbrushed blue gradients establish the armour, while pale weapon casings and carefully arranged ruins make the large Iybraesil machine feel deliberate rather than static.

In the Spotlight: Forest of Stone

Joseph Wilding imagines corrupted aelves who believe they are Sigmar’s reforged warriors while feeding on pilgrims. Natural wings, animal forms and unusual kit sources support the delusion, while a restricted grey-black palette gives their ruined temple host a cold and unsettling unity.
