Painting Question: For the Love of Squighogs!

July 2022·p. 6

THE SHORT VERSION

The ’Eavy Metal team explains the colours of a Squighog through carefully mixed shadows, layered skin and bright final highlights. The recipes separate fleshy textures, dark details and eyes, making a busy organic model readable without depending on one all-over shade.

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.

Echoes from the Warp: War Zone Nephilim

Robin Cruddace explains six-month mission updates, expanded faction secondaries and a redistribution of command points across the battle. Smaller starting pools make pregame upgrades more consequential, while regular income preserves later reactions and opportunities instead of concentrating too much power in a first-turn attack.
