PAINTING·WHITE DWARF 523

Painting the 5th Grand Company

April 2026·p. 60

THE SHORT VERSION

Jamie gives his Iron Warriors aged silver armour through repeated washing and drybrushing, contrasting it with brighter gold trim and the dark blue cloth used across his successive armies. Black-and-yellow hazard patterns receive metallic stippling so the markings look as battle-worn as the armour. The full recipe records iron, cloth, gold and both halves of the chevrons rather than reducing the scheme to its main silver colour.
