* Note: I used this exact colour scheme when I painted my friends Cadian Army.

Repeat this all over parts of the model until the effect is the same in the picture. On the tip of a 00 brush, push the tip lightly on the figure and swivel your fingers a bit until a nice circle is formed. Paint it out so that it forms the Camo Green into Splotches. Paint the next darkest colour, in this case a 75% Vomit Brown 25% Skull White Mix. After it has dried begin the next process. In this case Camo Green, Apply this in a few thin watered down layers. First you must apply the lightest colour first. Once that has dried up its time to begin painting.īegin by painting the flesh areas of the model, once this is done begin the camouflage. Once you have chosen the undercoat, apply it to the model using two thin layers. The undercoat depends more on the lightest colour of your camouflage scheme. Once your model has been cleaned of flash and filed down apply a thin undercoat. On the Catachans usually only two colours where used. If you look at how the 'eavy metal team painted the Imperial Guard armies in Codex: Imperial Guard and Catachan, you'll notice that only three colours where used. When painting camouflage a good idea is to pick out three colours, no more.

This would be a bad thing as it would wreck the effect. If your scheme has a wide variety of colours, the camouflage may do just that to the miniature, camouflage it. The most important key to camoflague is simplicity. The Valhallans would have whites and colours from the blue end of the spectrum. Tallarn may have desert tones, with browns and cream colours. Catachans can have a wide variety of greens and Dark colours. Cadians may have earth tones, such as forest and dirt. The technique can be used on all types of Troop types, using different colours. Nothing stands out more boldly than a table full of Camouflaged uniforms. I hope to get my Camera fixed and some actual pictures onto the site.Ĭamouflage is a very effective way to unify an Imperial Guard Army. The Camouflaged colour schemes come from Codex: Imperial Guard which is property of Games Workshop. The pictures I’m using come from the Codexs and Paintshop. *Note: My Digital Camera is currently broken so I will try to explain this as best I can without pictures.
