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
- Basecoat with 1:1 Corvus Black and Caliban Green .
- Shade deep recesses with Abaddon Black .
- Highlight raised details with 1:3 Corvus Black and Caliban Green .
- Take some of the above paint and mix it 1:1 with Sons of Horus Green , then add chunky edge highlights.
- Now apply fine edge highlights with pure Sons of Horus Green .
- Mix the Sons of Horus Green 1:1 with Ice Yellow and selectively highlgiht.
- Add some Ivory to the above mix and then selectively highlight corners and curves.
Cream Robes
- Basecoat with 2:1 Wraithbone and Rakarth Flesh .
- Add soft shading with thinned Karak Stone .
- More precisely shade with XV-88 , covering less area.
- Shade only the deepest parts and harshest folds with Rhinox Hide .
- Apply chunky highlights with Wraithbone .
- Mix your Wraithbone with an equal amount of White , then apply fine highlgiths.
- 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
- Basecoat with 1:1 Celestra Grey and White .
- Wash with Apothecary White .
- Increase the amount of White in your basecoat and apply fine highlights.
- Finish with a few selective White highlights.
Skin
- Basecoat with Kislev Flesh .
- Wash with 2:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Contrast Medium .
- Selectively highlight with Flayed One Flesh .

Tarnished Gold Helmet
- Basecoat with Retributor Armour .
- Wash with an equal parts mix of Agrax Earthshade , Reikland Fleshshade and Contrast Medium .
- Shade the cross with thin Rhinox Hide .
- Enhance the shading around the cross with a glaze of Reikland Fleshshade .
- Mix some Silver RLM01 Metallic into your Retributor Armour and apply chunky highlights.
- Increase the amount of Silver RLM01 Metallic again, then apply fine highlight.
- Finish with a few specular highlights of pure Silver RLM01 Metallic .
Dark Brown Leather Tube
- Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
- 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.
- Now with Skrag Brown , apply a chunky highlight down the most exposed part of the tube, covering less area that the previous stage.
- Mix 1:1 Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone and repeat the above, but make it a finer highlight.
- Selectively highlight with Ushabti Bone .
- Add a little :white to the Ushabti Bone and add a couple of specular highlights, where needed.
Metal Mace Head

Black Mace Shaft
- Basecoat with Black .
