Painting Question: The Cadian 1273rd

October 2023·p. 7

THE SHORT VERSION

The army painters propose a recipe for the Elysion Eagles regiment depicted in codex artwork, since no matching studio models exist. A mixed dark teal base and brown wash aim for a soft cloth finish, while pale layered gold receives a yellow wash to increase its richness.

Model of the Month: Krondys

Amy Snuggs paints Krondys to accompany her Anvils of the Heldenhammer, using blue-green scales and a lighter face to guide attention. Drybrushing and glazing develop the large surfaces, while the pale underbelly and wings provide contrast and a ruined-city base links him to a newly reclaimed Dawnbringer settlement.
