Dracothjay Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Just bought some Kurnoth hunters and getting a lot of units for christmas. Been looking at doing a arctic cold theme for my sylvaneth army, and also want to create a poison secondary theme (lots of glowing leaves, routes etc) The colours im thinking of is: For the wood on body: Rhinox Hide>Gorthor Brown>Baylord Brown>A white highlight of some sort to add some aged, cold texture For the Routes underneath the wood, between shoulder pads, armpits etc: Base: Macragge Blue Wash: Drakenhof Nightshade Layer 1: teclis Blue Highlight 1: Lothern Blue Highlight 2: Ulthuan Grey Highlight 3: White scar Then for the Routes leading to the leaves and the leaves themselves: A mixture of Genestealer purple and Xeuros purple with pink/white highlights and blending in Screamer pink and pink horror with white highlights. But, this is just an idea and im really struggling. I look at the Kurnoth hunters and struggle to see my scheme making sense. Any help or advice?

Nixon Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Well you could try to paint a test model and see how it goes? There are no trees on the artic pooles as far as I know, so its hard to find a reference and even harder to make believable? But if you look in the Sylvaneth Battletome there are examples of white trees. If it was me I would stick to white, blue and some light green, with purple shading. No brownes.

When you say stick to white do you mean a white wood for limbs and chest etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nixon Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Yes that was what I meant. Maybe you should take a look at the Beastclaw Raiders and how GW have painted them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payce Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Perhaps something like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracothjay Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 It's either the above or I'm also contemplating an purple and green poisoned theme with very dark oak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beastclaw raider one was great, but it's those exact colors i use to create stone and i dont want my oak looking like the stone. Anyone know a good white oak paint list or guide?
