Learn To Paint The Age Of Sigmar Sylvaneth With Games Workshop
July 4, 2016 by brennon
Games Workshop have sat Duncan Rhodes and Emma down to paint up three model kits from the Sylvaneth range for Age of Sigmar. They have painted up...
Alarielle The Everqueen and her Wardroth Beetle...#
...and the Dryads.
Each of these tutorials show off some fantastic techniques for working on these models and a lot of their methods could translate well onto other models too.
You can check out their Youtube Channel for more tutorials including painting the Ironjawz and Stormcast Eternals.
What do you think of their work?

Interesting… precision is everything. However, dry brushing is going to ruin your brushes fast. It’s all right for tree bark, but it’s very difficult to get good skintones with it !
I’m pretty sure Duncan can afford a dry-brush or two. 😉
the pound/euro shop is your friend for that @elromanozo
Those GW drybrushes can take a pounding though.
…drybrushing sucks! It is difficult to get a good finish. Drybrushed skin never looks that good either.
Nicely painted, but wacoshop have their own ‘look’ and other than the odd tweak it all looks the same. Still requires skill I will never have!
It would be nice to see them paint something original…
I used to be scathing about drybrushing too, regarding it as a simple technique for getting rudimentary highlights on deep textures without too much expenditure of effort or talent. Boy have I been put firmly in my place since then. When used with subtlety and with smooth graduations between layers it is possible to get some almost luminescent effects that I don’t think layering can touch, even on relatively flat surfaces. In fact, properly/well done (which I currently don’t claim to be able to do!) I think the use of a dry-brush technique can rival airbrushing – albeit a much… Read more »
Precisely what I’ve always said. Dry Brush is fine, it has its uses… but not for skin. I did a few tutorials about dry-brushing, as well.
No need to get sniffy about drybrushing. Like anything else, it’s a technique that has its uses. It will ruin a brush, but that’s why you’d want to use certain brushes exclusively for dry brushing. If you painted a mini using nothing but dry brushing, it would look like crap. However, only bad dry brushing looks terrible. Good dry brushing, used at the right time, in the right way as one technique amongst others, can give amazing results. There’s a tendency amongst some painters, with a bit if skill, to look down on dry brushing like its a technique used… Read more »
Great tutorials from Emma & Duncan! The Sylvaneth range sure looks good, I’m tempted to buy some just to paint.
I’ve painted a few models following these tutorials in the past and they turn out really well.
Some times after work I just want a paint by numbers guide to get my minis finished. 🙂
I have gotten fantastic skin tones with dry brushing though not dry brushing exclusively this is mostly dry-brushing and a wash, that is pretty much it and these guys look fantastic!

My palms are seriously itching to get my hands on Alarielle.
I think, once I can afford it, that I am actually going to follow the tutorial for the beetle really closely with mine. I love how Duncan breaks down the blending process of the upper and lower portions using washes and glazes.
