- Prime your model with your chosen colour, for my army I use Wraithbone .
- Paint the bottom half of the gun, the exposed barrel, casing emblem and any other chosen details with Leadbelcher .
- Carefully pick out any recesses using Agrax Earthshade .
- Finish the basecoating by painting the gun casing and any other select details with Abaddon Black .
- Edge highlight the black gun casing using Eshin Grey .
- Highlight over the Eshin Grey with Thunderhawk Blue .
- Pick out the upward facing and most exposed edges with a 1:1 mixture of Thunderhawk Blue & Administratum Grey .
- Finally you can highlight any Leadbelcher sections using Stormhost Silver .
Optional Detailing:
- At this point I like to hone in and bring out some of the more fine details of the model such as individual bolts etc. If these details are on the black casing I use Leadbelcher , if on the gunmetal I use Balthasar Gold .
- When highlighting the Leadbelcher I also like to pick out any edges of wear and tear using a very thin line of the Stormhost Silver over the top of your edge highlights, be selective here, think areas of contact.
