A fully painted Warhammer army is one of the most impressive sights
on a gaming table – battle lines full of regiments and banners evoking
visions of glorious conflicts and martial might. Due to the nature of
rank-and-file units, you can create an impressive-looking army in a
short period of time. Unlike individual characters, regiments don't
reuire lavish details. !nstead, a simple, unified colour scheme "ill
create a consistent look for your force "ithout the comple#ity of
e#tensive detailing.
$ome forces rely on large units more than others. As a horde, $kaven armies often
contain massive regiments of %lanrats and $laves, making $kaven a daunting prospect
to paint. &o"ever, "ith a fe" simple techniues, you can churn out legions of troops
that "ill not only scare your opponent "ith their sie but also look like a unified
fighting force. (nter %lan )estilens...

colours and provides natural shading in the recesses. Use a large brush to paint the
robes of each model in the unit and make sure that you leave the undercoat sho"ing in
the folds of cloth. ou "ill need to paint a couple of coats to achieve a solid, flat
colour on the models. +o achieve the off-"hite colour on the robes, mi# eual parts of
*leached *one and $kull White.
