MERIADOC BRANDYBUCK

The trousers were painted with a basecoat mix of slightly more Scorched Brown than Chaos Black. Bleached Bone was then added to this mix for each highlight stage.

Using three parts Chaos Black to one part Bubonic Brown, a small amount of Red Gore was then added to create the basecoat mix for Merry's cloak. To highlight, a little bit of Codex Grey was then added.

After painting the coat with Dark Angels Green, the same basecoat mix that had been used for the cloak was then added, mixing it in equal quantities to the Dark Angels Green. To finish off the highlights on the coat, the original basecoat mix used on the cloak was applied.

The vest was painted with an equal parts mix of Vomit Brown and Bubonic Brown. For successive highlights, more Bubonic Brown was mixed in followed by a little quantity of Bleached Bone. The final highlight was Bleached Bone on its own. Watering down Vermin Brown until it was a very thin consistency, the whole vest was given a final wash.

Scorched Brown was used as a basecoat to paint the hair, adding an equal quantity of Bleached Bone for the first highlight. More Bleached Bone was then added for the second highlight stage before giving the hair a wash with greatly thinned down Scorched Brown. The hair on his feet was then painted using the same method.

The bag was painted with a basecoat mix of equal quantities Scorched Brown and Chaos Black. This was then highlighted with Scorched Brown on its own. The final highlight was an equal quantity mix of Scorched Brown and Codex Grey.
