    Pinto horses seldom seen, better to play safe and make most horses chestnut or bays brown with red brown tinge. Usually darker works best, such a burnt umber. Lower legs from just above the knee, tails and manes black. One to three white feet, sometimes white marks on nose. Pink mouth, nostrils

      Absolutely! Spray primers are a great way of starting off a model, and with coloured ones out there now it's nice to get a close enough colour to start with.

    (Also love you use Army Painter Paints, that's a huge part of my collection and
    most people use Citadel and I struggle with color matching using the various guides.

      @@SwordsandBrushes I've just painted the new plastic witch king minature well I've built it as the bog standard wraith on horse .
      Basically I went for black blue highlights on the horse and for the wraith grey black with bone to mix in the black so both are different in tones .

    Very nice techniques! I've been painting horses like this: After a basecoat of a dark brown, I do a light dry brush of SILVER, being careful to only brush in the direction of hair growth of the horse (this will generally follow the curvature of the muscles); afterwards, I do a top layer of chestnut ink. This simulates the shiny effect you see when a horse has been running or working hard.

      Ah that is certainly an interesting method, i may try that on a future horse to see how it goes! Have you got any photos online anywhere, i'd love to see the end result! :):)
