URBAN STREETS Here's a simple scheme that's kind of an anti-camo pattern. It relies
on the moulding and openings of buildings to hide from would-be attackers.
Undercoat the tank Chaos Black. Start off with a harsh drybrush of
Regal Blue. Follow up with drybrush of Shadow Grey. This coat can be
a bit streaky for a more realistic "just off the factory line" feel.
Or, you can simply drybrush the whole tank with a bit of Chaos Black.
Pick out a suitable line on the tank with Space Wolves Grey to simulate
a building's moulding. |
DESERT CAMO Undercoat the model with Chaos Black. Start with a Tank brush and drybrush
a mix of Dark Flesh and Chaos Black all over the tank. Next, drybrush
Dark Flesh and Snakebite Leather and then continue with just Snakebite
Leather. Mix Bubonic Brown with Snakebite Leather and drybrush up to
pure Bubonic Brown. Then, with a large drybrush, stipple streaks across
the top half of the tank with a mix of Bleached Bone and Bubonic Brown.
Carefully stipple Bleached Bone in the centre of each striped area
to complete the paint scheme. Add any markings as you see fit. |

URBAN STREETS After the Chaos Black undercoat has dried, drybrush the edges of the
vehicle Regal Blue with a Tank brush. Paint large blocky stripes of
Shadow Grey in a downward fashion. Drybrush these blocks with a bit
of Space Wolves Grey. Still using Space Wolves Grey, carefully paint
little rectangles along the meeting of the stripes at random intervals.
Add markings as you see fit. |
CADIAN 301st Start with a Chaos Black undercoat. Use a Tank
brush to heavily drybrush the
model Dark Angels Green. Next, grab a can of Bleached Bone
spray and do your best to apply a single stripe across the centre rear
of the whole tank. Going back over the sprayed area, paint a zigzag
pattern of Chaos Black across the stripe. Fill in the new pattern with
black until the forward part of the Bleached Bone stripe is covered
completely. Add markings to finish the job. |

BROWN/TAN CAMO Undercoat the model Skull White. Apply watered-down Desert Yellow as
a basecoat. This step may take a few coats to achieve an even finish.
Use a watered-down 3:1 Chestnut and Black Ink wash along rivets and
joints only. Once the ink dries, drybrush the entire tank with Desert
Yellow. Without cleaning the brush, move up to Bleached Bone and drybrush
the entire tank. Paint on a camo pattern with Graveyard Earth. Drybrush
these new patterns with Desert Yellow. Apply small patches adjacent
to the Graveyard Earth areas with a mix of Scorched Brown and Chaos
Black. Carefully drybrush these patches with Scorched Earth. Finally,
add small Bleached Bone "jags" to the camo pattern. These
jags should run into all the available colours to confuse the eye. |
SWAMPY WOODLANDS Over a quick Chaos Black undercoat, basecoat the tank with Camo Green
primer. Water down Chaos Black and paint it into the recesses. Fix
any spillage of this black wash with a heavy-but-precise drybrush.
Use slightly watered-down Dark Angels Green to "tiger stripe" the
tank in various places. Carefully paint a streak of Chaos Black along
the top of each tiger stripe. Mix Camo Green with Rotting Flesh to
highlight the raised areas of the tank. Finish off with a final highlight
on the raised edges by adding more Rotting Flesh to the mix. Add squad
markings to match your army. |

SNOW CAMO After undercoating the model in Chaos Black, heavily drybrush the entire
model Scorched Brown with a Tank brush. Now for the tricky part: root
around your room and dig up one those foam squares that come in blister
packs. Dip an end of the square into some Skull White and wipe off
the excess paint on a paper towel. Using this "brush," liberally
sponge the tank to produce a frosty effect. However, you may want to
leave the bottom edges Scorched Brown to simulate the inevitable muddied
tracks. Now, just paint on any necessary tank markings. |
CADIAN PATTERN Start with a basecoat of Dark Angels Green and highlight up through Catachan
Green and Camo Green. Paint on stripes with Kommando Khaki. This step
may take a few coats, so be patient. Highlight these stripes with a
mix of Kommando Khaki and Skull White. Add the tank number onto the
sponson and any other markings as you see fit. |

SNOW/ASH WASTES After the Chaos Black undercoat has dried, lay down a Codex Grey basecoat
on the whole model. Drybrush with Fortress Grey. Add large splotches
of Space Wolves Grey and then drybrush them with Skull White. To finish
the scheme, speckle the entire tank with Chaos Black and Skull White
dabs in either a widespread or a tight fashion. |
MARS PATTERN XXI Undercoat with Chaos Black and give the tank a few coats of Scab Red.
Then, paint Codex Grey in random patterns across the tank. Highlight
the edges of the red areas with a Scab Red/Blood Red mix. Do the same
for the grey areas but with a Codex Grey/Fortress Grey mix. Finish
up by adding a few Snot Green triangles with a Dark Angels Green border. |
