How to Paint City-Themed Scout Camouflage Cloaks

I recently completed painting a Raven Guard Space Marines force. I painted the Camo-Cloaks of the scouts in an urban camouflage scheme that I present in this months painting tutorial.

I think this camouflage scheme would also look great on other miniatures with a city-fight theme. I hope you like it.

For painting the urban camouflage cloaks for these Raven Guard Space Marine Scouts I used the following Citadel paints:Abaddon Black (Base)

1. Abaddon Black (Base)
2. Mechanicus Standard Grey (Base)
3. Celestra Grey (Base)
4. Stormvermin Fur (Layer)
5. Dawnstone (Layer)
6. White Scar (Layer)
7. Agrax Earthshade (Shade)

Step 1 – Basecoat

First I build up a solid base colour with Mechanicus Standard Grey.

---

Step 2 – First Set of Camouflage Spots

After the base colour, I randomly added spots of Celestra Grey to the entirety of the scout cloak. It is important to make sure all edges of the spots are solid.

---

Step 3 – Second Set of Camouflage Spots

The next step is virtually the same as above, painting a second overlapping set of spots, this time using Stormvermin Fur.

---

Step 4 – Third Set of Camouflage Spots

Continue as above with a third layer of spots that overlap both of the previous colours in random places. For this third set of spots, I used a mix of Abaddon Black and Dawnstone.

Step 5 – Shading the Camouflage Cloak

Once all the camouflage spots have dried, shade the entire cloak using Agrax Earthshade.

---

Step 6 – Final Highlight

As a last step, highlight the most prominent folds of the camouflage cloak with White Scar.
