The Baron's Hunt - Spring Clean 2026

To finish this group, I still had the horses, shield, silver highlights, horns and the base to paint.

For the horse, I mixed Rhinox Hide:The Fang 1:1 and applied this all over, except on the black primed horse where it was added as a highlight. I also used this for the fur on the cloaks.

For the horns, I tested a bone scheme, starting with Zandri Dust:The Fang 1:1 followed by Karak Stone:The Fang 1:1.

I followed these with a recess and underside wash of Drakenhof Nightshade as a shadow.

I then highlighted the horns further with Karak Stone:Fenrisian Grey 1:1.

For the base, I started with Thondia Brown:The Fang:Black Templar 1:1:1.

I then used Drakenhof again in the shadow of the model. I gave a light Drybrush of Thondia:Fenrisian 1:1 to the lit areas.

I added some grass patches and washed them in Drakenhof mixed with some water to darken the “roots”, which turned out alright compared to the natural bright green of the grass that I use.

I used Stormhost Silver as a metal highlight to give some shine at the high points of the weapons, helms and mail that points upwards.

Finally, I took the Black shield and glazed on some The Fang pushing towards the upper edge. I then stippled on some watered down Fenrisian Grey as a cross and then Ulthuan Grey towards the upper edges of the pattern. I thinned Drakenhof:Lahmian Medium 1:4 and washed over the full shield to soften some of the colours.

I still need to paint the base rims but grabbed some pictures while the final washes dry.
