Cadian Tanks & Other armor

  1. Assemble, ideally keeping the tracks separate for now, maybe mask glue areas? Paint tracks separately

Basecoating

  1. Prime in neutral grey or sandy color? Because painting tan over black primer sucks ass
  2. Paint everything German Camouflage Beige WWII
  3. [Optional] light drybrush with Bone White to bring out edges & details
  4. Mask of camo pattern using blue tack/poster putty
  5. Olive Grey all over
  6. [Optional] light drybrush with Goblin Green either before unmasking or carefully avoiding the tan areas
  7. Remove masking putty as quickly as possible, leaving it for too long makes removal much more difficult, and may pull up paint from underneath
  8. Fix paint bleed on camo pattern with German Camouflage Beige WWII or Olive Grey
