SHOWCASE·WHITE DWARF 478

Mutated Dragon

July 2022·p. 52

THE SHORT VERSION

Hydra necks dramatically change a Draconith’s height and silhouette, creating a sinuous multi-headed creature. Cold dark skin and fresh blood suggest the aftermath of a violent battle, allowing the conversion’s unusual anatomy to remain the focus rather than hiding it beneath excessive decoration.

Model of the Month: Kragnos, the End of Empires

Vanessa Cotineau paints Kragnos green to connect him to the Kruleboyz who venerate him. Fluorescent blue mushrooms, veins and eyes give his swamp base a supernatural story, suggesting either that he draws power from its growths or that his presence empowers them.

In the Spotlight: Andrew Swithinbank’s Mechanicum Taghmata

Andrew Swithinbank’s Mechanicum began with inspiration from Warhammer World and developed into a large force of automata, transports and specialist infantry. Thin brown-to-red layers establish a consistent Martian finish before transfers and weathering, with plans for a personal Kelbor-Hal conversion giving the collection a future focal point.
