Pitch

[whitehawk]

Can anyone help, I am painting the 2ed pitch and what I want is the colour of sandstone e.g khemri desert sort of thing , does anyone know the GW colours to use starting with base coat and highlight colours and any washes . Or are there any links that may help. Thanks

My guess is .. dark brown undercoat
bubonic brown highlight
bleached bone highlight.

that's the way I'd do it.

beware of spray paints though .. nasty on styrophor

Hm, quite a lot of expensive gw color necessary to paint a pitch... i would check some wall paint colors, to get in " homeworker shops". There are small bottles to mix different shades of colors. Easy to close and to keep for the next project... a pyramide ? . I used this stuff for painting my Streetbowl pitch and now my new Dugout.

That or the big vats of acrylic paints that they sell at craft stores. Like Traveller said, don't worry about GW paints. Too much of an expense.

Not knowing if your state side or overseas so dont know if this will help you, but here goes.

I painted a aztecish pitch, tanish brown in color with the following.

Undercoat..................black..........................(Folkart artist pigment)
Heavy Dry brush........Chocolate bar..............(Ceramicoat)
Med. dry brush...........Acron Brown................(Folkart)
Light Dry brush...........Terratorial Brown.........(Folkart)
very light dry brush.....Goose Feather.............(Ceramicoat)

All of these i got at Wal-mart for about .88 cents a bottle.

After it dried i glued a little green flock here and there in the cracks. This really adds a lot, gives the impression that the jungle is creeping in.
