  1. Cygnar Blue Start by basecoating the area using Cygnar Base Blue
  2. Exile Blue Begin defining shadows by applying a coat of Exile Blue to the recesses and undersides of the area.
  3. Exile Blue Battlefield Brown Deepen the shadows with a mixture of Exile Blue and Battlefield Brown. Make sure the blue dominates the paint mix, or your model may turn out looking muddy and battle-worn.
  4. Cygnar Blue Highlight Once the blue area is shaded, it is time to highlight. Cygnar Blue Highlight is perfectly suited for this. Apply it to the upper portions of the model where light would naturally catch.
  5. Cygnar Blue Highlight Frostbite Lastly, apply the final highlights with a mixture of Cygnar Blue Highlight and Frostbite. Imagine this layer as the shine of light glinting off the armor, defining the edges and uppermost sections.
