Oakenbrow (Sylvaneth) Paint List for Age of Sigmar

intermediate Sylvaneth

The oldest Sylvaneth, bound to ancient oaks, with deep grey-brown bark. Golden autumn-green foliage on top of dark wood.

It's all about texture — build the bark up with several drybrush passes so it reads as rough.

Recommended undercoat black — Several priority paints in this army converge on black.
