STChecked patterns are a staple of classic Warhammer color schemes, but they can feel intimidating. Let’s go step by step.
—
1. Draw grid lines on your base color with a mechanical pencil. I start by drawing a line in the middle of the space, and then dividing each half in half, and so on. This keeps the spacing pretty consistent.
—
2. Paint black in every other square. Obviously it doesn’t have to be black, but always make sure you’re painting your darker color over your lighter color. It might take a couple coats.
—
3. Sponge on some of the background color to simulate wear and tear. My sponge is from some random box packaging.

That’s it! Now you can shade and highlight the checks along with the rest of your model. I’m probably not going to highlight the orange, but honestly I haven’t decided yet.
