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. Now mix Loren Forest and Death Guard Green 1:1 and add chunky highlights to the cloth.
5. Add fine highlights with Death Guard Green .
6. Selectively highlight with 1:1 Death Guard Green and Ogryn Camo .
7. Finish with specular highlights of Ogryn Camo .

Black Shield Portion

1. Basecoat with Black .
2. Apply chunky highlights of Corvus Black .
3. Add in fine highlights of Mechanicus Standard Grey .
4. Selectively highlight with Administratum Grey .
5. Mix your Administratum Grey 1:1 with White , then finish with specular highlights.

Dark Brown Leather

1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
2. Add edge highlights to everything and volumetric highlights with Doombull Brown .
3. Selectively highlight with XV-88 , using the big highlights from the previous stage as a guide.
4. Finish with very small Screaming Skull highlights.

Wood

1. Basecoat with Thondia Brown .
2. Shade with Rhinox Hide .
3. Highlight and add woodgrain with a mix of 2:1 Thondia Brown and Steel Legion Drab .
4. Take the above paint and mix it 1:1 with Administratum Grey . Now use this for fine highlights.
5. Increase the amount of Administratum Grey again, then add selective highlights.
6. Finish with a few specular highlights of pure Administratum Grey .

Chainmail and Steel

1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
2. Wash with Nuln Oil .
3. 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 .
4. Overbrush and highlight using Ironbreaker .
5. Finish with selective highlights of Silver RLM01 Metallic .

Blades

1. Basecoat with Silver .
2. Glaze shading over half of the blade with Gryph-charger Grey . I would recommend keeping this thin and doing a couple of passes.
3. Repeat on the half furthest from the pure silver, creating a rudimental gradient. This time I use Nuln Oil straight from the pot.
4. 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.
5. 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

1. Basecoat using Retributor Armour .
2. Shade selectively with Reikland Fleshshade where there are details or recesses that need more definition.
3. Add some Silver RLM01 Metallic to the Retributor Armour , and highlight selectively.
4. Finish with a few dots of pure Silver RLM01 Metallic .

Bases

1. 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.
2. Drybrush with Zamesi Desert , picking out all of the raised detail.
3. Give the base a second dryrbush with Ushabti Bone . Make this drybrush a little lighter, so it only picks out the most raised points.
4. Basecoat the rocks with Dawnstone .
5. Wash the rocks with a little Agrax Earthshade .
6. Highlight the rocks with Administratum Grey .
7. Mix some White . into your Administratum Grey and more selectively highlight the rocks.
8. Finally, finish off by painting the rim with Steel Legion Drab .
9. 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.
