The third and final treekin. (Actually I think I painted this one second but anyway) It was painted much the same way as treekin (2) that is black with successive coats of drybrushed grey and white. I realise drybrushing is somewhat frowned on by the painting elite but it’s very effective on a model with the texture of a treeman or treekin as there is quite a contrast between the raised and recessed areas, it’s not as haphazard as drybrushing can sometimes be.

The second of the three treekin.  Primed black and then successive dry brushed coats of grey and white.  There are a few patches of green dry brushed on as with the brown treekin  Am very happy with it, all the treekin were a joy to paint, it’s almost worth purchasing more just to paint them.  Pretty effective gamewise too in their one outing.

Here is the first of the three Treekin I painted ealier in the year.  I think personally they look better in real life than in the photo.

This was primed black, a slightly slapdash base coat of bestial brown (left patches of black in a number of the more hard to reach recesses.  I washed it with black ink and then drybrused several layers of graveyard earth and kommando khaki over the top.  There are little patches of green lightly drybrushed on various patches of the branch, not just because I was copying GW but because it makes the wood look older.  The mossy patches I think if I recall correctly were dark angels green washed with green and black ink and then highlighted with snot green and white mix.  This is the only brown one and I think it looks the best of the three.
