Painting Guide for the warband Hexbane's Hunters.

The colour schemes are loosely based on the official paint scheme from Games Workshop.

I have used Vallejo alternatives to Citadel in places and both will be mentioned in the paint list.

Beginning/Shared Steps

1. Assemble all the miniatures, as per the instructions. If possible, leave the miniatures detached from their bases.
2. Undercoat all miniatures with a black spray/primer, like Chaos Black .
3. Paint the grey slabs on the bases with a dark grey, such as Mechanicus Standard Grey .
4. Drybrush all the miniatures and the base decoration (i.e. temple ruins, bones) with progressively lighter greys, from Mechanicus Standard Grey , to Dawnstone to Administratum Grey .
5. Paint the bones & skulls on the bases with Ushabti Bone , then shade with watered down Skeleton Horde (or similar, such as Bag of Bones ).
6. Wash the grey slabs with a 1:1 mix of Ratling Grime (or equivalent, such as Greasy Black ) and Contrast Medium or water.
7. After the previous step is dry, thin Garaghak's Sewer (or Battledress Brown ) and run this into the cracks between the slabs, any exposed muddy areas and also any of the molded puddle effects.

Haskel Hexbane

1. Paint Hexbane's cloak and hat with a grey-black paint or speedpaint. I used Vallejo Xpress Color Black Lotus .
2. Paint Hexbane's face with Rhinox Hide , followed by a wash of Agrax Earthshade . Lighten the face back up with Rhinox Hide then use a small amount of Mournfang Brown on his cheeks and the bridge of his nose.
3. All underclothes & leather is based Rhinox Hide washed Agrax Earthshade and highlighted with Mournfang Brown , apart from the gloves, which are left as shaded Rhinox Hide .
4. The armoured chestplate, shin guards, shoulderpads, buckles, hammer head and pistol barrels are all Leadbelcher , washed with thinned Nuln Oil . The areas on the pistols under the barrels are Castellax Bronze .
5. The visible handle on the holstered pistol is Rhinox Hide . The Stakes & Torch Handle are Zandri Dust washed with Agrax Earthshade and highlighted with Ushabti Bone .
6. The flame on the torch starts out as Corax White . Once dry, a progressive wet blend of Iyanden Yellow , Gryph-hound Orange and Blood Angels Red us used to create the flame effect.
7. A quick drybrush of Heavy Charcoal is applied to the ends of the flames to mimic smoke, although any dark grey or black will work.
