Rough Riders of my Attilan Horde

Phase 1: Undercoat

  1. Spray with ColourForge Ossified Earth a colour match of Morghast Bone

Assuming that the model is entirely built you're going to have some trouble painting the undersides of the model so sequence is important.

Phase 2: Head Band!

  1. Base with two thin coats of Celestra Grey
  2. Wash with Nuln Oil
  3. Faintly dry brush with Ulthuan Grey
  4. Highlight with brilliant white - pro acrylic bold titanium white is great.

Phase 4: Start The Horse!

There are a number of options you can use for colour however I would encourage white, grey or bay. Brown and Black create a dark model and are leather colours that will feature a lot on the model already.

Palamino

Grey Horse - Also a great opportunity to layer the headband.

Thats white to you.

  1. Base with two thin coats of Celestra Grey
  2. Skip ahead to Phase 3 before returning to finish this sequence
  3. Wash with Nuln Oil
  4. Faintly dry brush with Ulthuan Grey
  5. Normally you'd want to highlight with a brilliant white however this is a horse and they have dark skin so in the rare cases to edge highlight like the ears use Administratum Grey or take it down again to Celestra Grey again.
