Introduction
This guide is intended to be more specific in certain parts than the guide on the GW web pages. Another difference is that I like to work through one part of a model at a time to make it easier to add lighter tones to the colour mixes. Parts can be done in any order, but I suggest starting the Rider with the armour since inks and drybrushing may otherwise spoil already painted areas. I also like to work from lower parts to higher to prevent oopsies from happening too often. Note: This guide has been discussed in the forums here: http://www.thelastalliance.com/index.php?pid=view_replies&thread_id=4353&forum_id=5

Basecoat the horse with an "appropriate colour", possibly give it a wash of ink and highlight it with "yet more appropriate colours". Quite vague instructions, huh? Well, the colours of the horses vary a lot while the riders have more or less similar outfits. Some colour schemes you might want to use are (note that all inks should be thinned): Bestial Brown - Vermin Brown - Snakebite Leather (the GW guide). See the picture in the middle section for example of this. Scorched Brown - Black Ink - Scorched Brown for very dark brown horses. Substitute Codex Grey for dark grey horses. You may also leave it as it is after the ink wash. See the other picture in the middle section of this guide. Chaos Black - Scorched Brown - Bestial Brown for dark brown horses.

Scorched Brown - Dark Flesh - Vermin Brown for brown horses. Scorched Brown - Bestial Brown - Snakebite Leather also makes brown horses. Bubonic Brown - Bleached Bone - Bleached Bone/Skull White mix for light brown horses. Fortress Grey highlighted with successive layers of Skull White mixed in; for whitish horses. Ghostly Grey gives a bit of a blue tint compared to Fortress Grey. See pictures below and the last picture. Chaos Black with a light drybrush of Codex Grey for a black horse. See picture below.

Many different colour combinations can be used here. Try for example: Any light brown with Brown or thinned Chestnut Ink wash, perhaps with a highlight of some lighter brown. Drybrush with Codex Grey, very light drybrush with Fortress Grey. Basecoat with Scorched Brown, highlight with Bestial Brown. Well, you get the idea.

Arrow fletchings
Paint the feathers (if visible) Codex Grey and highlight the edges with Fortress Grey.
Shield
Paint the shield Dark Angels Green and highlight the edges with Snot Green. Make sure to paint also inbetween the decorations. Paint the decorations with Bleached Bone. You may need several coats of Bleached Bone to fully cover the emblems. For variation, paint some of the shields with a mixture of Dark Flesh and Scorched Brown and highlight the edges with Dark Flesh.
Now the rider is ready for basing and charging Uruk-hai! Pasi Vlkkynen (valpas) basil@iki.fi Did you enjoy this article? You can give feedback and discuss it here.
