Simple and effective method for painting any flavor of Sylvaneth Revenants. Credit for this recipe goes to Juan Hidalgo Miniatures on youtube, I have minorly tweaked his recipe to my own tastes.

Tip: leave head/hair/bug wings/quiverbugs/shields off if you can during the painting process.

  1. Prime white and lightly layer with Corax White to even coverage and catch thin areas of primer

Tree Bark

  1. Apply Wyldwood (apply a healthy coat and make sure it pools slightly in the divots and knots in the bark)
  2. Lightly layer and edge highlight with Gorthor Brown
  3. Extreme highlight with Baneblade Brown

Soft Wood

  1. Glaze "soft wood" areas like behind knees/elbows, shoulders and hip joints with Skeleton Horde
  2. Highlight raised areas with Screaming Skull

Spirit Skin

  1. 1:1 mix of Aethermatic Blue & Contrast Medium
  2. Extremely light drybrush of Ulthuan Grey (use a very soft brush like a makeup brush)

Green Sprouts/Branches/Leaves

  1. Light to heavy drybrush fade with Elysian Green :
  2. Light layer of Elysian Green to solidify ends/leaves
  3. Controlled wash of Athonian Camoshade over Elysian Green blends and foliage
  4. Light drybrush with Elysian Green
  5. Lightly catch extreme edges of bark for added color variation
  6. Light drybrush with Ogryn Camo over end of branches and leaves

Bug Backpack

  1. 1:5 mix Kroxigor Scales to Lahmian Medium over wings
  2. Incubi Darkness over entire bug
  3. Use a very soft makeup brush and dry brush Gauss Blaster Green over wing membrane
  4. Carefully pick out veins in wings with Gauss Blaster Green

Optional Spirit Weapons/Armor
