A fully painted Warhammer army is one of the most impressive sights

on a gaming table – battle lines full of regiments and banners evoking

visions of glorious conflicts and martial might. Due to the nature of

rank-and-file units, you can create an impressive-looking army in a

short period of time. Unlike individual characters, regiments don't

reuire lavish details. !nstead, a simple, unified colour scheme "ill

create a consistent look for your force "ithout the comple#ity of

e#tensive detailing.

$ome forces rely on large units more than others. As a horde, $kaven armies often

contain massive regiments of %lanrats and $laves, making $kaven a daunting prospect

to paint. &o"ever, "ith a fe" simple techniues, you can churn out legions of troops

that "ill not only scare your opponent "ith their sie but also look like a unified

fighting force. (nter %lan )estilens...

*lack $pray )aint. +his primer gives you a dark basecoat on "hich to build up your

colours and provides natural shading in the recesses. Use a large brush to paint the

robes of each model in the unit and make sure that you leave the undercoat sho"ing in

the folds of cloth. ou "ill need to paint a couple of coats to achieve a solid, flat

colour on the models. +o achieve the off-"hite colour on the robes, mi# eual parts of

*leached *one and $kull White.

STAGE +

ou can accomplish a pestilent appearance "ith ink "ashes. +o start, mi# *ro"n !nk

"ith %haos *lack paint, "hite )A/ glue, and "ater. *efore painting any models,

test the consistency of the mi# to make sure it's not too thick. 0e#t, take one $kaven

model and apply the ink "ash onto the robe. 1emove any e#cess ink "ith your thumb.

With the miniature still "et, take a small brush and dab spots of 2reen !nk onto the

cloak. +his techniue adds a further element of filth to the model.



STAGE ,

3nce the ink "ash dries, finish off the robes by drybrushing an even mi# of $kull

White and *leached *one over the top. +his coat "ill restore the original colour and

give the unit a "orn and ragged appearance.

follo"ing colour palette to paint your unit.

.E/01ING E2CESS INK

When painting an entire unit, it's easy to use inks to bring out any detail. 5i#

%hestnut !nk, $corched *ro"n, "hite )A/ glue, and "ater together, and apply it to

the "eapons, flesh, staffs, belts, and parchment. 1emove any e#cess ink from the

Dark Angels 2reen, 2reen !nk, *lack !nk, "hite glue, and "ater to the models. 3nce

and chains "ith %hainmail. 3nce dry, highlight the edges of the s"ords "ith another

coat of %hainmail. Apply a layer of *raen *rass over the bells and armour. )aint the

snouts, hands, and feet "ith a "atered-do"n mi# of *roned 4lesh and *leached

*one. +his mi# "ill help to make the areas of flesh stand out. Apply a "atered-do"n

%amo 2reen highlight to the banner and scrolls. )ick out the raised areas of the staff

"ith a mi# of +erracotta and $corched *ro"n. 2ive the teeth and nails a highlight of

*ases are as important a

part of a unit as the models

uniform colour scheme to

the base unifies thea

regiment and helps to create

a smart finish. )aint the

appearance of the unit. *y

using a consistent approach

army "ill have a uniform

look rather than being a

random collection of

models.
