A guide to how I painted my Cadian Shock Troops in Urban Camouflage
Unless otherwise stated, all paints used are acrylics.
- Undercoat
- The model is undercoated in matt black (I use a spray can of either Citadel Chaos Black, or car
body matt black primer)
- Camouflage Uniform
- The camouflage pattern is based on the US four colour pattern urban woodland pattern
The models were given a base colour of Citadel 'Codex Grey'. The pattern was then applied using the
the Citadel colours 'Fortress Grey', 'Skull White' and 'Chaos Black'.
Ensure during painting that the stripes of 'Fortress Grey' and 'Skull White' are roughly horizontal.
- Body Armour
- This was painted dark green by first giving it a
base coat of Tamyia 'Black Green', followed by successive
drybrushed highlights of Humbrol 'Black Green' and
Humbrol 'Dark Green'.
The eagle detail on the armour was picked out in Citadel 'Skull White'.
- Bedrolls
- These were given a base coat of Citadel 'Imperial Strike Green', followed by drybrushed highlights of
Citadel 'Camo Green'.
- Webbing
- This was painted Coat D'Arms 'Faded Khaki', given a wash of Brown Ink,
and then drybrushed again with 'Faded Khaki'.
- Weapons
- The metal areas on the weapons were given a basecoat of Citadel 'Chainmail', followed by a wash
of Citadel 'Armour Wash'. The lasguns were given a base coat of Tamyia 'Olive Drab' and then
drybrushed with Humbrol 'Olive Drab' to highlight.
- Boots
- These were left black.
- Caucasian Flesh
- This was painted by starting with a basecoat of Citadel 'Dwarf Flesh', shading using a wash of
Citadel 'Flesh Wash', and finally drybrushing a highlight using Citadel 'Bronzed Flesh'.
- Negro Flesh
- This was painted by starting with a basecoat of Citadel 'Dark Flesh', shading using a wash of
Broen Ink, and finally drybrushing a highlight using 'Dark Flesh'.
- Basing
- The base was covered with PVA glue and then dipped in Sharp Sand. Once dry, it was given a
coat of Tamyia 'Flat Earth', followed by highlights of Citadel 'Bubonic Brown'
and Citadel 'Fortress Grey'. The base was then dabbed randonly with PVA glue and dipped in
flock.
- Varnishing
- The figures were varnished the figures using a single coat of Humbrol Gloss Cote, followed by a
single coat of Humbrol Matt Cote.
