The best army if you are afraid actual brush strokes, and not afraid of ghosts. This is a fast yet effective recipe for nice looking warriors of the dead. They might not win painting awards, but you can knock out an army in a very short amount of time. We won't make a single "real" brushstroke in this tutorial, except for painting base rims. In fact, if we exclude the base, there isn't even a need to put paint down on a palette. I would recommend using a quite large round yet fine drybrush. Since we will be doing a lot of drybrushing, make sure to properly clean up any mold lines before starting.

Ghostly appearance

  1. Prime in Grey Seer . You don't need to go over the model with Grey Seer from the pot unless there are obvious spots where the spray primer didn't get to.
  2. Wash entire model in Coelia Greenshade . This is a very satisfying step, make sure to enjoy it!
  3. Add random spots of Poxwalker and Biel-Tan Green all over the model. You could get creative here, adding other colors, wet-blending, just make sure that the Coelia Greenshade is dry first.
  4. Drybrush Celestra Grey . How hard you go here is up to you, go hard for a lighter look, do a lighter drybrush for a more saturated and dark look.
  5. Light drybrush Screaming Skull . This brings us slightly out of the pure blues and greens for a ghostly look.
