Portraits of War
May 2025·pp. 50–63
THE SHORT VERSION
Roman Lappat explains his framed relief-like dioramas, inspired by classical art, church memorials and boxed miniature scenes. He builds a rear box inside a chosen frame and treats the whole composition as a single painting, using forced perspective, controlled lighting and models at different scales. Seven examples explore Cadia, the Underhive, Space Marines, Stormcasts and Nurgle, each choosing environmental colour to establish emotion as well as depth.
