How to Paint Sylvaneth Wood as a Newbie
Hi everyone!
My boyfriend and I are planning getting into Warhammer AoS. I chose Sylvaneth as my first faction but am very new to painting minis. After spending the last days trying to understand the differences between the different kinds of paints I am now wondering how I should proceed.
What kind of paints and techniques would you recommend for a newbie trying to color the wooden parts:
Option A Primer Brown Contrast Paint Drybrushing with various lighter shades
Option B Primer Brown Base Paint Dark Wash Drybrushing with various lighter paints
The ghostly parts I would like to paint with a blueish contrast as I like the look as well as some pink for cherry blossoms.
What do you think will be the easiest and/ or cheapest option (even with this very expensive hobby :D) and have I maybe missed something obvious?
I know there's a lot of tutorials online and such but it its fairly hard to navigate through and find something beginner friendly.
Thank you all in advance!
