Attilan Rough Riders: Silver Painting
13 March 2026
Our miniature painting studio recently completed this 10-man squad of Hearthkyn Warriors, the core infantry of the Leagues of Votann. Moving away from traditional brighter tones, we utilized a tactical forest green and khaki custom paint scheme. This combination gives the Kin a rugged, spec-ops appearance that perfectly complements their high-tech wargear in Warhammer 40,000.
Volumetric Highlighting and Crisp Edge Detail
To make these painted miniatures stand out on the tabletop, we applied volumetric highlights to the green armor plates, transitioning from deep shadows to a bright, desaturated green on the uppermost edges. This technique provides a professional "3D" look to the armor, ensuring that the heavy plating of the Hearthkyn remains readable and impressive at any distance.
Advanced Orange OSL and Technical Effects
A signature element of this commission painting project is the vibrant orange Object Source Lighting (OSL). We applied this glowing effect to the visor lenses and various technical sensors on the Ion Blasters and Autarch-pattern bolters. The warm orange glow acts as a perfect visual counter-point to the cool forest green armor, drawing the eye toward the faces and weaponry of the squad.
