Any good suggestions? I have the GW fur brown and its working well on 15mm horses.
Any other useful speed paints for horse colours?

Agoras Dunes for a dun coloured horse.
I also use the Coat D'arms horse colour set, and then a contrast over (like inkwashing).

Re: Speedpaints for horses
Any of the GW browns work well and of course "black Templar". You can vary the shades by using a combination of white, bone or grey zenithal highlight over a black undercoat, underneath the contrast, to start.
It id possible, to use the GW ones (possibly the others but I haven't tried) to use them like oil washes and go back whilst they're still wet and remove the paint over "highlight" areas with a makeup sponge. This can be tricky though as they can dry to a stage where they're still wet but have a film on top that breaks up when touched!

Perfect. I was in town today so popped into GW and got the Agoras Dunes. Forgot they were £4.75 a piece. I've got a black too so will give that a go.
Re: Speedpaints for horses
There's two contrast blacks. Templar Black is the stronger one and my preference...if I had to give up all contrasts except one, Templar Black is the one i'd keep
Re: Speedpaints for horses
Yep, bought templar black a while ago. Freds recommend was a good one. Great results for dun colour. I've started the Prussian heavies tonight. Last of the cavalry so ordered more French horse yesterday.

Did anyone else read this as "Speedpants for horses"?

I just wondered how they'd get the lids off the speedpaints?BaronVonWreckedoften wrote: ↑Fri May 19, 2023 1:27 pm Did anyone else read this as "Speedpants for horses"?

They are hoof friendly.
