This scheme is based strongly on the official artwork from Sean Sutter, for this new game. How to paint a team of Green Knights to a decent standard. These knights will also be doing double duty in my retinues for "The Barons' War".

I started by priming with Death Rattle Green . This is not a compulsory step, but it makes the next steps easier.

Green Cloth

  1. Basecoat with Loren Forest .
  2. Mix the Loren Forest 1:1 with Rhinox Hide and ui=se this colour to shade the cloth.
  3. Now add a little Abaddon Black to the above mix and shade the deepest folds with a small amount of paint.
  4. With Death Guard Green , add chunky highlights to the cloth.
  5. Add fine highlights with 1:1 Death Guard Green and Ogryn Camo .
  6. Selectively highlight with Ogryn Camo .
  7. Finish with specular highlights of Ogryn Camo , mixed with some White .

Black Shield

  1. Basecoat with Black .
  2. Apply chunky highlights of Corvus Black . Now highlight with fine lines of Mechanicus Standard Grey .
  3. Selectively highlight with Administratum Grey .
  4. Add a little White to your Administratum Grey and add final, specular highlights.
