Grey Seer and a Darkling Coven Sorceress. The Warhammer Quest

SOUAD MARKINGS
Squad markings are a great way to add personality to
your miniatures, to show off your painting skills and, on a
practical level, to figure our which models are in which
unit on the battlefield. Most Space Marine Chapters
show their squad markings on their right shoulder pad,
traditionally a roman numeral inside a symbol that shows
what type of squad they are. The Blood Angels, however,
wear their markings on their right knees, the symbols
ranging from skulls and blood drops to lightning strikes.

STEP 4: GLAZING
At this step we start adding character to the
face, using glazes to add warmth to it and bring
it to life. "Glazes help show the life in a model's
face- features such as bruises, scars, flushed
skin, and so on," says Aidan. "At this stage we
want to add a new contrast. Before it was

LES MARTIN'S STORMCAST ETERNALS
White Dwarf was approached at this year's Warhammer Fest by the eager Les Martin, who
wanted to show us pictures of his Stormcast Eternals. We were so impressed we invited
him up to GW HO so we could get some photos to show you all, and here are the results.
THE FIRST SCION OF SIGMAR
Les's Stormcast Eternals hail
from the Celestial Vindicators
Stormhost, a colour scheme Les
spent some time perfecting,
with the exceptional results you
can see on his Celestant-Prime.
Whilst Les's
Celestant-Prime is an
exemplar of the army as
a whole, it does have a
few touches unique to
the model, such as the
flame effect on the
cometstrike sceptre,
and the swirl of galaxies
around him. The stars
are actually easy to
achieve, as Les carefully
stippled the colours onto
the whirling comets, for
a striking and
otherworldy effect.
