Greetings!Some time ago I decided to paint my Imperial Guardsmen in an original way. I chose to go with desert colors and brown armour, which were inspired by Polish soliders fighting evil terrorists in Iraq 😉 And I thought why shouldn’t I make a miniature painting tutorial about it…
Several persons asked me how I painted this kind of armour, so here it is:
Painting brown armour in 8 steps
[list class=bullet-2]
- chaos black undercoat
- several watered down layers of bestial brown
- edges were highlighted with bestial brown + snakebite leather mix
- next I added more and more skull white to the mix and used it for further highlighting (I put about 4-5 layers)
- when you think it looks OK, put watered down flesh wash or brown ink and wait until it’s TOTALLY dry
- after that put some thin skull white lines in the very edges so it looks like reflecting light
- if bestial brown followed by the wash is too dark in your opinion, highlight it using thin layer of pure bestial brown
- seal it with matt varnish and that’s all 😉
The effect can look like this:
I hope this tutorial was useful for you.Have fun painting!
