The Sons of Sorrow is a warband or vectorium of the Death Guard Traitor Legion's 7th Plague Company. The infamous Plague Surgeon Nauseous Rotbone was once a member of the Sons of Sorrow vectorium before he was elevated to command rank by the Daemon Primarch Mortarion.

Disclaimer: In fact, the color scheme of this warband is unknown and this leaves place for fantasy. This is my version and recipe. Enjoy!

_________________________________________________

Usually I lay down all the base colours to the entire miniature, then do all the shading, and then I work out the details of each element separately. The last step I add the smallest details and prettiness.

Prime

1. Prime with Chaos Black or Death Guard Green

Base colors

1. Base armor panels with Nocturne Green , will need few thin coats of it. This is because this model has a lot of spikes, so the paint will lie better. Don't need to be very accurate at this step.
2. And rear view.
3. Basecoat armor trim with Balthasar Gold .
4. Rear view.
5. Basecoat bones, teeth and horns with Skeleton Bone or Ushabti Bone .
6. Base with cloak and cloth Screamer Pink . The color wheel shows that is a pretty match with color of the armor :)
7. And behind.
8. Base internal organs and mutations with Bugman's Glow .
9. Base boltgun's body, any tubes and hoses with Abaddon Black , metal parts (gun muzzle, saw, and cartridges) with Leadbelcher .
10. Base plague knife's blade with Leadbelcher .
11. Start leather details with Rhinox Hide .

Shading

1. Shade all over armor panels with Nuln Oil .
2. Shade over the armor trim, any bronze details and leather with Agrax Earthshade .
3. Shade bone's color parts with Agrax Earthshade or use Skeleton Horde .
4. Shade all over cloth and focus in the recesses with Druchii Violet .
5. Shade tentacles with Carroburg Crimson .
6. Shade metal parts with Nuln Oil .

Armor Panels

1. Recover, correct faults and lighten up panels that should be lighter by Nocturne Green , few thin coats.
2. And more lighter with Loren Forest .
3. Keep brightening up and highlights with Death Guard Green .
4. Extra highlight fine points and sharp edges with Zandri Dust
5. Wash slightly with Drakenhof Nightshade , focusing into shadows. Feel free to tint hightlights, it makes mini more grimdark.
6. Make weathering, thin lines with Ushabti Bone .

Armor Trim
