Citadel Wood Painting Guide - Part Two

After the parts had been removed from the sprue and cleaned, they were put together and I used Green Stuff to fill the gaps. Once this had dried hard I undercoated everything in Chaos Black - any missing parts were painted over afterwards.

Not all paints used are Games Workshop.

Base:

1 - A heavy brushing of Scorched Brown to all of the base
2 - A heavy brushing of Dark Grey (Vallejo 70994) to stones and slates
3 - Highlight everything other than stones with Dark Earth (Revell 82)
4 - Highlight Dark Earth with Olive Brown (Revell 86)
5 - Highlight Olive Brown with Light Olive (Revell 45)
6 - Hightlight stones drybrushing with Basalt Grey (Vallejo 70869) and a lighter highlight with Light Grey (Revell 76) finish with a very dry highlight of Skull White.
7 - Add Flock to areas. In this case I wanted lots of ground to show.
8 - Any dropped wood was left Schorched brown and had a highlight of Dark Earth (Revell 82) and Medium Fleshtone (Vallejo 70860)

Tree Trunks/Branches:

1 - Undercoated Chaos Black
2 - Heavy dry brush of Scorched Brown
3 - Highlight of Dark Earth (Revell 82)
4 - Very dry brushing of Medium Fleshtone (Vallejo 70860)
5 - Stones and boulders had a brushing of Dark Grey (Vallejo 70994), highlight Basalt Grey and Light Grey with very fine Skull white for final highlight.
6 - Flock added to match base.
