About the Project

Sylvaneth - they have seen many battles but are still in bare plastic, however! Since they've been winning many battles I think it's time they recieved a lick of paint. This is a step by step of my process for painting my sylvaneth army. I have a plan and have collected all my materials - thankfully before all this Corona stuff kicked off - so now is a good time to get them painted. I will list what I am doing and what paints etc. I am using, so if you like the scheme or something that I've done it will be easy to follow along. The idea is that this is a leafy vibrant glade, a close cluster of dark barked trees and vibrant mossy undergrwoth. To achieve this I am using browns and tans for the main body. The more armoured or branch like parts will be a dark brown colour and the more recessed fleshy areas wiil be tan, like the fresh wood under the bark. This will be accented by greens and yellows on the mossy base and the leaves and flowers on the model itself. Hope you enjoy!

First things first, my purchases started with a start collecting box, followed by another ;). A third is needed but for a change I later purchased a box Kurnoth Hunters and Tree Revenants. This is roughly 1250 pts of minis.

As I purchased the minis they where clipped from the sprues, had their mold lines removed and assembled using plastic glue (revel being my prefered choice).

After this it was time for priming. Since I planned to use contrasts I chose to use Wraithbone. I wanted brighter finish for the contrast paints, hence Wraithbone over Greyseyer.

The final step in prep is to gather the paints and materials I will use for this project. These are mostly GW contrast paints but I will likely have at least one vallejo as well and a variety of basing material.
