’Eavy Metal is our regular feature celebrating beautifully-painted Citadel miniatures. Curated by the members of the renowned ’Eavy Metal team, we feature their models along with those of select guests.

Despite toiling all day as a member of the elite ’Eavy Metal team, Tom Winstone still finds the energy to paint in his free time too.

Tom: When I paint models, I really like to get inside the background, and bring something from their history or imagery to the fore. The first time I saw this Dark Elf Sorceress I remember thinking she would look good on ice-blasted terrain or with snow swirling around her. On top of that, I always get the impression that the Dark Elves are the most cold, calculating and cruel not just of the Elves but of all the creatures in the Warhammer world.

I chose colours that would portray that coldness, without being clichéd. The main thing that people have commented on is the tone of her skin. Basically I wanted to paint it very pale indeed – alabaster, almost, but with enough of a contrast in tones that it was believable. To that end, I spent a long time painting her face. The Sorceress has eye make-up, a little rouge on her cheeks and lips that match her skirts. I wanted to keep the colour palette to an absolute minimum, so I avoided contrasting colours like gold. Those could have warmed up the model and changed the overall effect. She also has tiny magenta highlights in her hair, if you look closely. These connect the hair, skirt and lips together, unifying the model.
