Once you prime your models with Chaos Black Spray
Paint, painting can begin. Below, you will find a simple-but-effective
colour scheme using only 15 colours. Follow the detailed instructions
and check out the stage-by-stage images for reference as you paint
your models. Don't fret if the model doesn't come out picture perfect
in the end; painting takes time and practice to master. Just do
the best you can each time and be open to learning new techniques
from others. Before you know it, you'll be quite an accomplished
painter with models you'll be proud to game with!

Get the ball rolling
with a careful drybrush of Boltgun Metal over all the exposed chain mail. Next, paint the Dwarf's bracers Dwarf Bronze.
Turning your attention to the weaponry, paint Chainmail onto
the axe blade and horns of the helmet. At this point (and each time
you use any metallic paints), you should wash out your water.
Alternatively, keep two water cups nearby when painting — one
for regular colours, and one for metallics. |

Moving on, start the
flesh basecoat with some Dark Flesh. Carefully pick out the
face and hands with a small brush. Next, apply a coat of Scorched
Brown to any leather materials, like the helmet flaps. Using a
fine detail brush, very neatly paint the raised cloth areas
of the Dwarf's armour. To finish this step, build up a few
thin coats of Shining Gold onto the helmet, axe decoration,
and any runes. |

Once
again, start by highlighting the flesh. This time around, use
some watered-down Tanned Flesh to paint over most of the basecoat.
Next, mix a tiny dot of Chaos Black into Shadow Grey and paint
this onto the Dwarf's shirt sleeves and robe. Finish
the chain mail armour by carefully lining the edges of the raised
red areas with a mix of watered-down Blood Red and Scab Red.
Now, using Chestnut Ink mixed with tiny bit of water,
wash over the gold areas precisely — be careful not to get this all
over the place. Go slow and take your time.

At
this point, your model is suitable for gaming, but let's
push on for an even-better result! Using Dwarf Flesh and a fine detail brush, pick out
the raised flesh areas like the nose, cheeks, and knuckles.
Very little paint is needed to achieve this highlight, so
choose the areas you paint wisely. Highlight the sleeves and
robe with a few lines of some watered-down Shadow Grey.
Going back to the gold (once the ink is dry!), reapply some
Shining Gold to the helmet and axe decoration. Pick out the
raised areas and leave the ink in the recesses. You can even
do a little drybrushing if you wish. Prepare for the final
step by covering any paint slip-ups on the beard with some
Chaos Black.

Mix a tiny drop
of Codex Grey into some Chaos Black. Apply this mix in thin lines
along the beard as well as the shoes of the Dwarf. Just go
with the flow of the beard and hit a few areas here and there.
After this coat dries, do the same with straight Codex Grey to
a few select beard areas for some variation. Pick out the
teeth of the Dwarf with some Skull White. If you wish, mix
Skull White with Dwarf Flesh for a final skin highlight.
This highlight should only be applied to a very few select
areas like the tip of the nose. Finish the job by adding a
shield painted in any manner you please. The one shown here
was painted just like the Dwarf's helmet by using Shining Gold
and some Chestnut Ink. Now, get out there and settle some grudges!
