I looked at a load of artwork for medieval priests and found one I liked. I took those colour choices and applied it to the (admittedly different) equipment of my Warrior Priest. No regrets.

Dark Green Robes

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Corvus Black and Caliban Green .
  2. Shade deep recesses with Abaddon Black .
  3. Highlight raised details with 1:3 Corvus Black and Caliban Green .
  4. Take some of the above paint and mix it 1:1 with Sons of Horus Green , then add chunky edge highlights.
  5. Now apply fine edge highlights with pure Sons of Horus Green .
  6. Mix the Sons of Horus Green 1:1 with Ice Yellow and selectively highlgiht.
  7. Add some Ivory to the above mix and then selectively highlight corners and curves.

Cream Robes

  1. Basecoat with 2:1 Wraithbone and Rakarth Flesh .
  2. Add soft shading with thinned Karak Stone .
  3. More precisely shade with XV-88 , covering less area.
  4. Shade only the deepest parts and harshest folds with Rhinox Hide .
  5. Apply chunky highlights with Wraithbone .
  6. Mix your Wraithbone with an equal amount of White , then apply fine highlgiths.
  7. Finish with selective White highlights.

The highlights for this material are best applied as scratchy lines to give texture. I would also advise applying some as occasional dots in the latter stages.

White Shirt

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Celestra Grey and White .
  2. Wash with Apothecary White .
  3. Increase the amount of White in your basecoat and apply fine highlights.
  4. Finish with a few selective White highlights.

Skin

  1. Basecoat with Kislev Flesh .
  2. Wash with 2:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Contrast Medium .
  3. Selectively highlight with Flayed One Flesh .
  4. Finish with a few specular highlights of Pallid Wych Flesh on the knuckles.

Tarnished Gold Helmet

  1. Basecoat with Retributor Armour .
  2. Wash with an equal parts mix of Agrax Earthshade , Reikland Fleshshade and Contrast Medium .
  3. Shade the cross with thin Rhinox Hide .
  4. Enhance the shading around the cross with a glaze of Reikland Fleshshade .
  5. Mix some Silver RLM01 Metallic into your Retributor Armour and apply chunky highlights.
  6. Increase the amount of Silver RLM01 Metallic again, then apply fine highlight.
  7. Finish with a few specular highlights of pure Silver RLM01 Metallic .

Dark Brown Leather Tube

  1. Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
  2. Take some thinned Mournfang Brown and apply a heavy glaze over the tube. Work in rough lines, always pulling your brush towards the apex of the tube.
  3. Now with Skrag Brown , apply a chunky highlight down the most exposed part of the tube, covering less area that the previous stage.
  4. Mix 1:1 Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone and repeat the above, but make it a finer highlight.
  5. Selectively highlight with Ushabti Bone .
  6. Add a little :white to the Ushabti Bone and add a couple of specular highlights, where needed.

Metal Mace Head

  1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
  2. Wash with Nuln Oil .
  3. Glaze some Agrax Earthshade into the deep recesses of the mace head.
  4. Mix some Silver RLM01 Metallic into your Leadbelcher , then add some highlights.
  5. Finish with a few specular/very small Silver RLM01 Metallic highlights.

Black Mace Shaft

  1. Basecoat with Black .
  2. Drybrush with Dark Reaper .
  3. Drybrush again, but slightly lighter with Thunderhawk Blue .
  4. Overbrush an even smaller highlight with Fenrisian Grey .
  5. Mix a little White into your Fenrisian Grey and apply very small highlights.
