This is a relatively quick and easy guide for painting uruk hai warriors. I found the most important part to get to look right was the armour so that was why extra time was spent on it. I generally try to follow the basecoat > wash > highlight method with highlights just on the high points leaving the recesses with the darker colour. For highlights like the skin water down slightly to get a good not too thick coverage.

Priming I went for a black primer however I might recommend trying a grey primer as priming black meant painting some of the base coats twice Base coating: Hair: Black (If not primed) then drybrush Eshin grey (GW) and lighter drybrush dawnstone (GW).

Skin: Doombull Brown (GW)

Armour,shield ect: Leadbelcher (GW)

Leather Cloth: Rhinox Hide (GW)

Chainmail: Black (If not primed black) then drybrush ironbreaker (GW) leaving the black in the gaps between the mail. Wash: Skin,Leather Cloth, Leather Straps : Agrax Earthshade (GW)

Armour, shield ect: First just a layer of nuln oil but not letting it sit in the recesses to much. Then two or three layers depending of darkness preference of Nuln oil 50:50 with lahmium medium.

Chainmail: One or two washes of Nuln oil 50:50 with lahmium medium. Highlight: Skin: Doombull Brown
