This unit of Wild Riders was painted by Studio painter Chris Peach, who got very close to using all the greens in the Citadel Paint range. Here’s what he had to say about painting the new models:

Chris Peach: When painting cavalry models, it’s normally easier to leave the rider separate as they will often have a different texture and colour scheme to the mounts they are riding. In this case, I pinned the Wild Rider to a cork and undercoated both him and his stag with Chaos Black Spray. I then basecoated the rider with Zandri Dust using the Citadel Spray Gun (though a Large Drybrush would work just as well). This layer isn’t essential, but it definitely makes it easier to apply the other colours, such as the skin and the cloak.

The Wild Riders’ steeds have a mottled pattern on their hind quarters. “Horses and stags are often dappled,” says Chris, “and I wanted to do something similar on the Wild Riders. Keeping with the green theme, I applied patches of Elysian Green to the flanks and back legs of the steeds before highlighting them with Ogryn Camo.” Chris also used Lamenters Yellow on the stag’s mane and the rider’s cape. “It visually ties the rider and mount together,” says Chris, “and brings a vibrant, summery feel to them, representing the Wild Riders at the height of their power.” DH

THE WILD HUNT

The Wild Riders in the army of Talsyn are painted using the same colours as Orion, the King in the Woods. “They are his personal guard after all,” says Steve Bowerman, “so it seemed only right to paint them using the same colour palette.”
