Thanks Gene.
As requested here's my recipe for quick and easy Uruk-Hai scouts.
Nothing special but they look nice on the battlefield. I actually started this tutorial a week ago but I've been so busy for so long that I ended up falling asleep and only picked them back up today. If you're not knackered, stick with it and have a hairdryer handy these will only take about 3 hours for 4 miniatures.
After cleaning and assembling the miniatures they are primed black. After they are primed i like to paint the entire model with VGC Charred Brown to give a nice, neutral colour for painting lots of browns.
Step 1. Basecoats.
Basecoat, in this order:
VGC Cobra Leather (or GW Snakebite Leather) on collars and underskirts.
GW Abbadon Black (or any good, matte black) on boots, gloves, loin-guards and helmet flaps
AP Plate Mail Metal on all metal areas (or GW Chainmail)
VGC Beasty Brown (or GW Bestial Brown) on all straps
VMC English Uniform on the jackets.
VGC Charred Brown on the flesh.
Once the basecoats are finished go over the model with the same paints, in the same order again tidying up all mistakes. Aim to make the basecoats as tidy as possible.
Step 2: Washing
Once the basecoats are dry wash the entire model with
AP Dark Tone Ink (or GW Badab Black)
When this is dry wash the metal areas with
AP Strong Tone Ink (or GW Devlan Mud)
Step 3: Highlights
Highlight the areas of the miniature in this order:
GW Adeptus Battlegrey on all black areas. Use a detail brush and only use sparing highlights on the edges.
AP Plate Mail Metal on the metal areas. Use a detail brush and only use sparing highlights on the edges.
VGC Cobra Leather on all underskirts and collars.
VMC English Uniform on the jackets.
VGC Beasty Brown on the straps.
VGC Dark fleshtone on the flesh followed by an optional highlight of 2/1
VGC Dark Fleshtone and
VGC Bonewhite.
Paint the base and you're done.
