Simple Way to Paint Horses

So I posted a video recently of lots of cavalry I had been painting and commented how I was less unhappy painting horses than in the past. A couple of people wanted to know how I do it so you asked for it and here it is!

Thankfully I don't have to worry to much when painting 6mm horses en masse, but when I next do some 28mm D&D minis, I'll put this to use.

The beauty of smaller scales!

[@basicminiaturepainting]

Very nicely done mate,i paint my horses with contrast aswell

[@BootsontheTable]

Thank you 👍

[@martinradcliffe4798]

For a long time I had ACW armies with no cavalry before I took the horse plunge. Finally worked out a method, but still not happy about it! Very useful video.

[@BootsontheTable]

well its simple but works for me so give it a go Martin

[@NSYresearch]

I over painted with Gore Grunta some horses that i painted brown and wasnt happy with. It gave an amazing depth of colour to what were horrible

[@BootsontheTable]

yeah its a nice over wash on horses, works really well

[@BattleBunkerHQ]

Good tutorial Dom, contrast has certainly made it easier for these applications for those of us who don’t like painting horses 😂😂👍

[@BootsontheTable]

cheers mate - yes I know other approaches have fabulous results, but for those of us who want to get it done easily but effectively, it works

[@mattmale7183]

I just started using these. Very easy. Did all my ECW, now I can face the 30+ French Napoleonic I had hidden away.

[@BootsontheTable]

yeah suddenly the whole cavalry things isnt so daunting. I have a Mongol army I have always wanted to do, and now I am planning it

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Thanks for this, might have to get some contrast paints now.

[@BootsontheTable]

sorry about that ;)

[@BrushQuill]

Interesting video, a nice simple guide. To be honest my issue with horses is barded horses. Getting to the flesh under cloth barding is a pain.

[@BootsontheTable]

just slap on the contrast!

[@fethahedthee1337]

Great stuff, thank you Dom.

[@BootsontheTable]

you are most welcome - I hope its useful to you and others

[@vicsminiatures7949]

Nice tutorial Dom! Thanks for sharing it

[@BootsontheTable]

Glad you liked it Vic!

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

As with your Hungarians, awesome results. Cheers my friend and brake the 700, :-)

[@BootsontheTable]

cheers mate - I really thought Contrast was a con, but the more I use them the more they become a large part of my painting arsenal. Creeping up there to 700! Exciting!

[@bjkernowpaintingandmodelli9119]

Nice video, haven't used contrast yet. May give them a call for horses cheers

[@BootsontheTable]

it's worth it if you dislike painting horses as much as I did!

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

Great for the 3/0 rule Dom.

[@BootsontheTable]

cheers Leslie

[@chalkboy8]

Great vid! Thanks for subscribing to my channel!

[@BootsontheTable]

Thanks!

[@shaunyams]

What sort of camera do you use as your figures look really good?

[@BootsontheTable]

Thanks. I use a Canon SX730 HS as a video - although I have just upgraded so that might change

[@peterlittle6651]

Good afternoon Dom how many of these contrast paints did you get and were they specifically for the horses?

[@BootsontheTable]

Hi Peter, I started getting them for the horses and therefore focused on the darker/brown colours. But as I used them elsewhere I picked up a couple more colours and use them on clothing etc. When I order things I often just add a pot or two to my order. Plus when the shops are open, you can pick up Contrast paints in the GW stories

[@peterlittle6651]

@@BootsontheTable I need to go online, if I go into the store I will end up buying all sorts of accessories....including a contrast paint set. I can see the face that will greet me at home now.

[@lesliebeilby-tipping6854]

No such thing as cheating, just getting to know your tools and materials.

[@BootsontheTable]

That's true Leslie

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Not sure how else to contact you, do doing it here. I am running spotlights of channels in update videos. If you are willing, it would be good to feature yours. How should I get in touch? Or you can get hold of me via our Facebook page.

[e-mail] is the channel email - great to talk about this, Dom
