Painting the Knight

[eBob]

As this range of figures progresses - I hope to add many specific miniatures to represent various named Knights of the period. However, in the meantime the Knight model can be painted with any coat of arms you fancy to represent one of the many famous Knights of the period.

I have chosen to represent

Undercoating
The first thing to do is to undercoat your miniatures matt black.

Undercoating is best done by spray painting. I prefer to use a large size can of matt black car spray - I use Halfords spray paint in the UK. Always get the biggest can - it has better pressure than the smaller cans.


Painting - using GW's acryllic range

First I cover the miniature with Scorched Brown - then dry brush with earth brown. Armour and weapon coloured Boltgun Metal.

looks brillant
what other earth colours did you use?

[eBob]

I tend to only use Scorched brown, earth and Bestial brown - with Kahki for the dirt on the robes.

[eBob]

GW calls it 'graveyard earth' and kommando kahki. yes - I think enchanted blue - I forget all their foolish paint names.
