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
- Basecoat with   Loren Forest .
 - Mix the   Loren Forest  1:1 with   Rhinox Hide  and ui=se this colour to shade the cloth.
 - Now add a little   Abaddon Black  to the above mix and shade the deepest folds with a small amount of paint.
 - Now mix   Loren Forest  and   Death Guard Green  1:1 and add chunky highlights to the cloth.
 - Add fine highlights with   Death Guard Green .
 - Selectively highlight with 1:1   Death Guard Green  and   Ogryn Camo .
 - Finish with specular highlights of   Ogryn Camo .
 
Black Shield Portion
- Basecoat with   Black .
 - Apply chunky highlights of   Corvus Black .
 - Add in fine highlights of   Mechanicus Standard Grey .
 - Selectively highlight with   Administratum Grey .
 - Mix your   Administratum Grey  1:1 with   White , then finish with specular highlights.
 
Dark Brown Leather 
- Basecoat with   Rhinox Hide .
 - Add edge highlights to everything and volumetric highlights with   Doombull Brown .
 - Selectively highlight with   XV-88 , using the big highlights from the previous stage as a guide.
 - Finish with very small   Screaming Skull  highlights.
 
Wood
- Basecoat with   Thondia Brown .
 - Shade with   Rhinox Hide .
 - Highlight and add woodgrain with a mix of 2:1   Thondia Brown  and   Steel Legion Drab .
 - Take the above paint and mix it 1:1 with   Administratum Grey . Now use this for fine highlights.
 - Increase the amount of   Administratum Grey  again, then add selective highlights.
 - Finish with a few specular highlights of pure   Administratum Grey .
 
Chainmail and Steel
- Basecoat with   Leadbelcher .
 - Wash with   Nuln Oil .
 - I also like to enhance the shading in recesses and where areas of steel need separating. For this I typically use glazes of   Agrax Earthshade . 
 - Overbrush and highlight using   Ironbreaker .
 - Finish with selective highlights of   Silver RLM01 Metallic .
 
Blades
- Basecoat with Vallejo Metal Color   Silver .
 - Glaze shading over half of the blade with   Gryph-charger Grey . I would recommend keeping this thin and doing a couple of passes.
 - Repeat on the half furthest from the pure silver, creating a rudimental gradient. This time I use   Nuln Oil  straight from the pot.
 - Ensure tall edges are highlighted, where the previous two sets of glazes may have over spilled. For this I like to use   Ironbreaker , simply because I find it catches edges easier than Vallejo Metal Color paints.
 - Finish with selective highlights of   Silver RLM01 Metallic  on edges that still have the solid   Silver  basecoat. Focus more highlights towards the tip.
 
Gold Details
- Basecoat using   Retributor Armour .
 - Shade selectively with   Reikland Fleshshade  where there are details or recesses that need more definition.
 - Add some   Silver RLM01 Metallic  to the   Retributor Armour , and highlight selectively.
 - Finish with a few dots of pure   Silver RLM01 Metallic .
 
Bases
- Basecoat with   Mournfang Brown . It is best to thin a little with water to ensure it flows into all of the recesses. Give it a couple of coats, until the colour is solid.
 - Drybrush with   Zamesi Desert , picking out all of the raised detail.
 - Give the base a second dryrbush with   Ushabti Bone . Make this drybrush a little lighter, so it only picks out the most raised points.
 - Basecoat the rocks with   Dawnstone .
 - Wash the rocks with a little   Agrax Earthshade .
 - Highlight the rocks with   Administratum Grey .
 - Mix some   White . into your   Administratum Grey  and more selectively highlight the rocks.
 - Finally, finish off by painting the rim with   Steel Legion Drab .
 - Now all that remains is to apply any turfs or flock that you wish. I like to use PVA glue and some flock from my local model shop.
