PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 492

Brush Tips: Blood Angels

September 2023·p. 60

THE SHORT VERSION

Carlos Miguelez emphasises the clean, vivid red associated with Blood Angels Terminators, concentrating on an even basecoat and sharp recesses and highlights. He includes less wear than on several other Chapters to reflect their care for equipment, using cool highlights on the black areas to frame the warmer armour.

The Hobby Cycle

Lyle Lowery traces the feedback between painting projects and games: an exciting battle encourages a new unit or terrain piece, which then creates a reason to play again. The studio’s remarkably busy Combat Patrol league and this issue’s extended Terminator painting column supply two different sources of that momentum.

Contact

Readers describe returning to the hobby after decades away, painting as a way to relax, and sharing Warhammer with their children. A miniature gallery accompanies conversations about accessible painting coverage, an elaborate Avatar of Khaine display, and a technical question about recreating a Genestealer Cults shell colour.

Avatar of Khaine by Damien Tomasina

Damien Tomasina raises the Avatar above a burning battlefield with cork, a wrecked Aeldari vehicle and dead Drukhari, turning its surroundings into part of the molten spectacle. He explains the bright mixed base of the flames and the sequence of reds, dark armour colours and lilac highlights that balances the luminous figure against its black shell.
