MARS PATTERN Undercoat the tank Skull White. Apply watered-down Blood Red over the
whole tank. The paint will act as an ink by pooling around detail and
bolts,
yet it will cover at the same time. This step may require a coat
or two. Once the paint dries, water down some Chestnut Ink and apply
it
to rivet lines and bolts. Now, with a large drybrush, stipple streaks
across the top half of the tank in a downward slant with Scorched
Brown. Carefully stipple Dark Flesh over these stripes. Then, in the
centre
of each stripe, stipple with Terracotta to complete the paint scheme. |
SCRUBLAND DESERT CAMO Start with a Skull White undercoat. Paint the whole tank over with
a mix of 80% Bubonic Brown and 20% Vomit Brown. Carefully apply Flesh
Wash
Ink to all the recesses. When the wash dries, streak the tank with
Dark Angels Green in a downward fashion. Carefully paint the outer
edges of the new stripes with Chaos Black. Highlight the raised edges
of the tank with Bronzed Flesh and Snot Green in their respective
areas. |

CHEMICAL WASTES Use Bronzed Flesh, Dark Angels Green, and Scab Red as your primary
colours. After an undercoat of Chaos Black, apply each colour in random
blotched
patterns onto the tank. Make sure that each colour is represented
equally. Next, apply slight highlights to each colour by picking out
the raised
areas, Finally, use Fortress Grey and add small dots and dashes in
a random pattern all over the tank. |
ION STORM PATTERN BUYAKA After a Chaos Black undercoat, drybrush the entire tank with Catachan
Green followed by Camo Green. Paint short Codex Grey stripes in grouped
patterns
that slant in the same direction. Highlight the centre of each stripe
with a bit of Fortress Grey followed by a final highlight straight
down the centre with Skull White. |

SNOW CAMO Apply a Chaos Black undercoat, then a quick-and-dirty basecoat of Catachan
Green. Drybrush heavily with 50/50 Codex Grey and Kommando Khaki,
then Fortress Grey, then Fortress Grey and Skull White, finishing up
with
a drybrush of pure Skull White. Take an old and splitting large drybrush
and stab at the tank in various places with some Catachan Green.
Add some weathering with a drybrush of Scorched Brown and Snakebite Leather
along the bottom of the tank. Lastly add kill markers and unit designations
as you wish. |
JUNGLE/FOREST PATTERN Undercoat the model Chaos Black. Water down Catachan Green and apply
it as a basecoat. Apply a 3:1 Catachan Green to Chaos Black mix on the
tank in splotches. Drybrush this darker pattern with Catachan Green
and then do the same for the lighter pattern (without cleaning the
brush) in Desert Yellow. Apply Graveyard Earth in a small patch pattern,
staying within the edges of the darker pattern. Drybrush these small
patches with Desert Yellow. Add details and crew markings as you
wish. |

FIRE WASTES After applying a Chaos Black undercoat, drybrush the whole tank with
Dark Flesh followed by Blood Red. Plan and paint in the stripes with
Chaos
Black. Carefully paint highlights of Shadow Grey on the stripes to
complete this simple-yet-effective camo scheme. |
375th DEATH KORP OF KRIEG PLASMA STORM PATTERNAfter priming
black, drybrush the model with Shadow Grey followed by Codex Grey.

and drybrushing. The first colour is Red Gore, followed by Blood

and Fiery Orange. Lightly drybrush the final highlight with Golden
Yellow. |

CHEMICAL WASTES Start with a Chaos Black undercoat followed by a light drybrush of
Shadow Grey over the entire surface of the tank. Next, dilute some Bestial
Brown with isopropyl alcohol and spray 1.5" thick diagonal lines
across the tank with an airbrush. When this coat dries, dilute some
Scab Red and spray a thinner line inside of the Bestial Brown. Spray
close to the tank to get the centre of the lines and then bring the
airbrush away from the tank while spraying to help blend the edges
between colours. When satisfied with the colour, paint the weapons,
battle damage, and the like with Tin Bitz followed by a drybrush of
Chainmail. Finally, paint the rivets with Chaos Black and then pick
them out with Mithril Silver. |
URBAN RUBBLE Undercoat the model Skull White. Apply watered-down Codex Grey as a
basecoat. It may take a few coats to achieve an even finish. Paint on
a darker
camo pattern with mix of Chaos Black and Codex Grey. Next, paint on
some small patches with Fortress Grey. Add small Skull White "jags" or
triangles to the camo pattern. These jags should run into all the available
colours to confuse the eye. Use a watered-down 3:1 Chestnut and Black
Ink wash along rivets and joints only. Lightly drybrush Codex Grey
over the darker grey patches, Fortress Grey over the Codex Grey basecoat,
and Skull White over the small Fortress Grey patches. |
