Multicam or rather Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP)
So painting camo was never my strong point. I have usually shied away from it because I don’t understand how to do it or give it some depth. I’ve seen some people do amazing work with things like SS oakleaf or peadot camo and though, ‘man, I wish I could do that’ and completely disheartened to hear ‘oh its easy, you just do xyz, blah blah blah, thingy whatsit and then bam, you’re done’.
Multicam is the same, its so many different shades of colour and there are actually a large number of variations. Only one true Multicam and then a lot of similar knockoffs that people use when they don’t want to pay for the license, for example, the British who made MTP instead which is based on Multicam. They do still appear to use a lot of licensed Multicam however

Now when I first painted the first model from this range I followed this guide.
I felt that the result came out far too green! other OTTers agreed with me too. so on we went to find another way! thankfully the painting god/demon/powerhouse suetoniuspaullinus was on hand to guide us all through it all. more on that later.

I have not tried this method as it was released after I painted my models and chose my colour scheme with the OTTers.
Please try it though as its much nicer browner colour than the spectre green Multicam scheme.
