To try out the new Citadel paints I went just with the paint guide on the website. This Birch Ent is using the Grey/Brown selection. Firstly I got out my big drybrush...

A healthy all over slathering of the Dryad Bark base colour...


And back...


Then a really heavy drybrush of Gorthor Brown...


And back...


Then a pretty heavy, but lighter than before drybrush of Baneblade Brown...


 And back...


Then my first try of the new Dry paints, Terminatus Stone. I gotta say, I really liked the Dry compound paint. It went on really nicely, you only need a tiny amount and I found it easy to work with.


And back...


Finally Agrax Earthshade washed liberally all over...


And back...


And then the first coat of the leaves and vine at night, so the lighting is super harsh!


The leaves will be coloured yellows, oranges and reds and I've yet to do any highlighting on the vine leaves.


Really enjoying the sculpt, and this is about three hours work to do the browns and green and yellow. I'm really happy with how the brown came out, the photos don't quite look right, so you might have to wait until it's done and at my brother's house for proper shots.

Anyway, just a quick update to show you the progress. Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish it off! Super quick (for me anyway) it'll have taken longer to put it together (thanks to that slow drying glue) thank it will for me to have painted - go the big drybrush!!!
