I have really enjoyed painting with this lighter leather recipe recently. Here, I detail two slightly different ways of painting it, depending upon your style or level of dedication.
I think both look pretty great, personally.
Quick and easy, perfect for a wasteland on a dead planet. I use this on my Tyranids to represent a world where they have consumed all the biomass leaving only a dead husk behind.
A bit of a cheat with power weapons! I used Daler Rowney FW ink Payne's Grey and White, but you can substitute any white or black ink, or even highly pigmented paint. I'll add step-by-step photos at a later point.
"Dirty wasteland" camo scheme for Warhammer 40k Steel Legion (or other Guard or general military units).
Can be glazed or stippled
In this guide I will being focusing on the main colours I have been using for the Gretchin in my Ork Goffs Kill Team. I like to vary the skin tones of my Gretchin, so if you are interested in this in particular you may want to check out my "Gretchin/Goblin Skin Tone Collection" also available on this site.
Generic sandbags for fantasy or historical.
Here is how I painted the big daddy Genestealer for my Broodcoven. This is the traditional Genestealer scheme and could easily be used on the standard Tyranids, Genestealer Cults or Acolyte models.
This didn't work trying on an aquila - agrax over appid wych went too brown instead of stone
With glazing you want to work back and forth making sure to deposit the most of the color in its respected area. Only the turquoise should be pushed all the way to the end of it section.
Generic market items for fantasy or historical
A combination of the video linked (for all the detail work), with the 'Armour of the Dark Gods' video by Duncan Rhoades for the metallic Tzeentch armour.
This is my take on the Blood Ravens paint scheme, featured in the Dawn or War series.
A recipe used to paint traditional bone colours
This recipe explains how I painted my Nighthaunt. The process has been on development more or less since the release of AoS 2.0 and I have tweaked the steps to the needs of different units based on the speed, level of detail or the attention I want to give to the model.
For those big, hot, heavy guns! Mimics the colour changes you see happens to steel etc under heat.
How to paint the base model Saurus (For Warriors or Temple Guard)
Painted for a painting competition run by Old Guard Games and Badger Games for Adepticon 2025.
For heavily worn and torn red cloaks or capes.
Cloth has a knitted or fur effect. ALWAYS mix 3:1 Paint with Flow Improver.
Many models have leather belts and pouches. For many years I used dark browns for them but have recently concluded that brighter colours work better.
A blue scheme to go with my Deathskulls Ork Air Waaagh! for Aeronautica Imperialis
