- Undercoat with Wraithbone to prepare for contrast paints.
- For the stitched leather skirt, use Darkoath Flesh straight from the pot, give it a good amount of time to dry, and give it a shade all over with Reikland Fleshshade . Pick out any stitching with Wraithbone .
- For the flayed skin (belt buckle, arms) use Fyreslayer Flesh straight from the pot.
- For any of the light leather straps, use Word Bearers Red and shade with Agrax Earthshade
- For the metal, use the classic metal recipe of Leadbelcher , shade with Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade , and edge highlight with Leadbelcher
then Stormhost Silver (also use the latter to do fine lines as scratches and chips in the aged metal). - For the helmet, shoulder pads, and shin pads on most of the warband, base coat with Leadbelcher , then shade all over it with a little Shyish Purple thinned with a touch of Contrast Medium .
- The Blissful One doesn't have the purple coloured metal, but they do have a purple cowl. Basecoat this in Naggaroth Night , shade with Nuln Oil , then do a generous highlight of Xereus Purple and an edge highlight of Genestealer Purple .
- For the skull in the Blissful One's cowl, basecoat with Zandri Dust , shade with Seraphim Sepia , then do a highlight with Ushabti Bone and a selective highlight of Screaming Skull .
- Touch up all the skin and shirts with Wraithbone , a couple of thin coats may be needed. Shade just the shirts (and the cloth straps by the face if not already done) Agrax Earthshade , and highlight again with a little Wraithbone .
- Finally, paint the raw and painful skin with patches of heavily thinned Volupus Pink with Contrast Medium (thinned even down to 4:1). Use Magos Purple thinned around 1:1 too on especially sore areas, like where the metal meets skin, or deep recesses.
