I built this model using the Mounted Knights (1150-1320) plastic kit from Wargames Atlantic, exclusively. My aim with this guide is to leave you with a nice playable character from the "Dramatis Personae" section in the back of The Barons' War Second edition book and pay homage to the Footsore Miniatures model also available.
To get started, I primed the model with Sanguine Red from Colour Forge. This step isn't 100% necessary, but it does make establishing a basecoat for our main colour easier.
Black Horse
- Basecoat with Black .
- Drybrush exposed areas with Skavenblight Dinge . I would recommend using a small brush and take the direction of the light into consideration. This stage is to act as a main highlight and add a little texture. Feel free to use a brush to pick out highlights on hard to reach parts.
- Selectively highlight edges and curved portions where the light mould hit using Stormvermin Fur .
- Mix a little Ivory (or another warm off-white) into your Stormvermin Fur and highlight more selectively.
