Isharann Tidecaster

October 2023·p. 67

THE SHORT VERSION

Will Ashton converts a figure to appear as a Tidecaster emerging from crashing surf, reinterpreting its mist as water and adding fish from the Gloomtide Shipwreck. The ethereal Mor’phann theme is developed through blue cloth, green-shaded silver armour and layered green blades, connecting the miniature to his wider Idoneth force.

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.
