In this guide you will find step by step instructions showcasing how to paint the new Emperor’s children models.

1. Undercoat your models with Leadbelcher . This can be done using a spray or base paint.
2. Wash the entire model with Targor Rageshade making sure it doesn't pool awkwardly.
3. Selectively wash the model with a 1:1 mix of Druchii Violet and Lahmian Medium . Focus on the recesses of parts you want to be silver (such as the trim and weapons)
4. Shade the gun casing with Nuln Oil . This makes the casing darker than the rest of the gun.
5. Drybrush the entire model with Stormhost Silver . Again focus on the parts you want to be silver.
6. Paint the black armour with Grey Seer .
7. Paint the pink armour with Fulgrim Pink . You will most likely need to apply multiple coats to get an even colour.
8. Paint the leather and cables with Wraithbone . You may need to apply two or three coats for an even coverage.
9. Paint the gold with Retributor Armour . Try to avoid getting this on other parts of the model.
10. Paint the tassels, lenses, and different capes with Ulthuan Grey .
11. Paint any remaining capes and cloth with Pink Horror .
12. Paint the space marine's skin and the flayed skin with Rakarth Flesh .
13. Wash the pink armour and the gold with Carroburg Crimson .
14. Paint the black armour and ribbing with Black Legion .
15. Wash the flesh and pink cloth with Targor Rageshade .
16. Paint the different cables and such with your choice of paints. I chose Flesh Tearers Red , Imperial Fist , and Frostheart .
17. Shade the tassels, eye lenses, and the cloth you want to be green with Biel-Tan Green .
18. Wash the remaining cloth with Apothecary White .
19. Edge highlight the pink armour and cloth with Fulgrim Pink .
20. Edge highlight the black armour with Eshin Grey .
21. Edge highlight the cables, eye lenses, green cloth, white cloth, and the raised edges of the pink armour with Ulthuan Grey .
22. Edge highlight the black armour again using Dawnstone . Do this very carefully.
23. Edge highlight the flesh with Rakarth Flesh .
24. Edge highlight the flesh again with Pallid Wych Flesh .
25. Pin the cabling, eye lenses, green cloth, white cloth, and pink armour with White Scar .
26. Edge highlight the gold with Stormhost Silver .

6. Stipple some Rhinox Hide or any other dark brown paint onto the lowest parts of vehicles.
7. Apply some Blood For The Blood God to the areas you choose. I apply it to the swords and around places with the most hideous mutations. I also use a sponge to paint some across the tracks of land raiders, as if they've just run over someone.
