Painting Adam’s Dwarves

THE SHORT VERSION

A black undercoat and straightforward drybrushing establish the armour, while consistent premixed colours speed the cloth. The red scheme progresses from Red Gore mixed with Scorched Brown to pure Red Gore; the green begins with Dark Angels Green, brown and a little black, then lightens with Bleached Bone. Numbered mixing pots let later additions match the first models, and Gloss Varnish protects the deliberately shiny finish.
