Paint the flesh areas with red gore. (Note: An alternative paint scheme quite widely favoured for Uruk-Hai skin is dark flesh, or tanned flesh.)

Step 4

Paint all the cloth and straps with scorched brown.

Step 5

Use some snakebite leather to highlight the cloth and straps. Just a rough job around the edges will do fine

Step 6

Drybrush the hair with some codex grey. At this point the model is actually complete, but perhaps doesn't really look or feel it.

Step 7

Time for a small miracle now. Water down some brown ink or black ink. Using a large brush, paint this over the entire model. Yes, you heard me the whole thing. Inks are your friend. The slightly scruffy looking model (as metal brushed over black tends to be) will now instantly be transformed into a far more detailed figure. The ink defines all the joins between areas and provides shading and texture for all the colours at once.

Hopefully you’ll be able to see the difference this has made in the next picture.

Step 8

Take some mithril silver and paint (don't drybrush) all the edges of the armour. Just the edges mind, and a rough line is fine. Just look at all the pictures in the rulebook, you can see the effect we are going for here.

Step 9

Use a little bleached bone to pick out the teeth
