Brush Tips: Word Bearers Saturnine armour

September 2025·p. 104

THE SHORT VERSION

James places the Word Bearer after the Legion’s adoption of crimson before Calth. Dark green shading gives the red recesses depth, while black shoulders and helmet identify a veteran and frame the iconography. Matching powders on the base and lower legs suggest the ash of Calth.
