Artist Notes
I primed the miniature with Army Painter Gray Brush-On Primer. I then basecoated the entire tank with Army Painter Army Green, except for the treads, which I covered liberally with Army Painter Grim Black speedpaint.
Once dry, I slathered Citadel Agrax Earthshade wash liberally over the whole tank, avoiding the treads. Then I did the weapon barrels, using Army Painter Gun Metal, followed by Citadel Nuln Oil wash along the barrel points where the height level changes.
With the weapons done, I moved to drybrushing. I did two layers of drybrushing over the whole tank, first with Army Painter Camouflage Green, then with Army Painter Olive Drab.
Lastly, I did the base. I started with Vallejo European Mud texture paste, let it dry overnight, and then liberally used Citadel Agrax Earthshade over the whole base, and once dry, mixed Army Painter Leather Brown and Ancient Stone, and lightly drybrushed over the base.
