tep 1: Spray the models black and then basecoat them in scorched brown.

2: Paint the cloaks terracotta and leave some scorched brown in the recesses. Hi ghlight with terracotta mixed with some bleached bone, and then once more with e ven more bone added to the mix. 3: Paint some clothing areas vermin brown, again leaving scorched brown in the r ecesses. Highlight by adding fiery orange to the vermin brown, and then once mor e with even more orange. 4: Paint some other clothing areas with watered down graveyard earth until you'v e got an OK blending effect. Highlight by adding just a little bit of bone to th e colour. 5: Paint the last clothing areas and the wood of the bows with snakebite leather , but don't leave any of the original colour at all, instead you should leave th e leather colour in the recesses while painting the rest in vomit brown (this mi ght need a few coats since vomit brown covers poorly). Highlight the vomit brown by mixing in some bone, and then with pure bone. 6: Paint the faces with dwarf flesh, leaving scorched brown where you think the face would be shadowed. Then highlight with watered down elf flesh, and then mak e a final highlight with elf flesh. Wash the face with very watered down scorche d brown. Leave the eyes dark. 7: Highlight all the ropes or bands or whatever with bone. 8: Highlight the leather armour with vermin brown. 9: Paint the base, glue on static grass or whatever you like. 10: Admire your models and reward yourself for your effort by killing some stuff in a video game. bases Autumn bases tutorial: Step 1: Glue sand to the base as normal with PVA glue. You can add small pieces of slate here and there for some variation. Then glue cooking herbs (again with PVA glue) here and there on top of the sand. Step 2: Undercoat the base black. Paint everything scorched brown. Then drybrush the sand graveyard earth, followed by a light drybrush of bleached bone. The sl ate should not be painted scorched brown but instead astronomican grey, drybrush ed codex grey and fortress grey, washed with badab black. Step 3: Pick out the leaves in the following colours. Terracotta, vermin brown a nd vomit brown. Wash with devlan mud. Highlight the terracotta with terracotta/b leached bone, the vermin brown with vermin brown/fiery orange, and the vomit bro wn with bleached bone Step 4: Glue a few birch seeds on here and there and wash them with scorched bro wn if they are too bright. These make great autumn leaves as well and provide so me leaves with a more easily distinguished shape. I feel they compliment the her b-leaves well. Step 5: Varnish the leaves with matt varnish. I'm not sure but I think this make s the leaves less likely to decompose over time. Anyway that's what I think xD I don't know for sure. Step 6: Glue clumps of "scorched" static grass onto the bases here and there. Step 7: Glue clump foliage on some of the bases in the form of little bushes or moss. Drybrush it with vomit brown to tone down the green. Done Note: Terracotta isn't sold by GW anymore which is a shame. It's a wonderful col our! Dark flesh is however pretty close, only a bit darker. So I'd suggest that as a substitute. Maybe mixed with a little bit of bone. horses I paint the dappled grey horses something like this: Step 1: Astronomicon grey basecoat. Step 2: Wash heavily with badab black.

Step 3: Tidy up with astronomicon grey. Step 4: Stipple flecks (is that a word? xD) of astronomicon grey mixed with code x grey. Concentrate on the upper half of the horse. The legs should be darker. Step 4: Stipple smaller flecks of codex grey on the darker spots but leave quite a lot of darker grey showing around the edges. Step 5: Lightly stipple with fortress grey. Step 6: Highlight the legs in a more traditional way with astronomican grey/code x grey and then codex grey. Optional step 7: If you want a flesh coloured mouth then mix more and more dwarf flesh into the grey further and further towards the mouth and nostrils. The chestnut horse was painted from scorched brown up in different stages to dar k flesh and with a final highlight of dark flesh/a little bit of bleached bone. - If I remember correctly.
