  1. Prime with Leadbelcher or Chaos Black

Armour

Mechanical Parts

  1. Begin by painting all the inner mechanical parts and the gun casing with Mechanicus Standard Grey .
  2. Apply a layer over these areas with Black Templar
  3. Edge highlight next with Dawnstone
  4. Add another edge highlight with Administratum Grey , but this time focus more towards the corner areas.
  5. Spot highlight with Ulthuan Grey

Metal Plates

  1. Base coat all the metal plates starting with Ironbreaker - leave the shoulders and face plates.

Weapon

  1. Paint the metal parts of the weapon with Leadbelcher
  2. Coat the metal weapon parts with a 1:3 Black Templar / Contrast Medium mix
  3. Edge highlight the metal parts using Stormhost Silver

Glow

  1. Start with Corax White to the areas that will be green
  2. Over the white detail, apply 1:3 Warp Lightning / Contrast Medium . Make sure to absorb the excess as we want to build gradually. Build in areas where you want it to be heavier. This should take a few coats
  3. Make a glaze with Dark Angels Green and Contrast Medium . Use this to darken the darker areas on the glowing parts. Use roughly three layers.
  4. Next highlight the brighter areas with White Scar
  5. Take Tesseract Glow and Lahmian Medium and apply this over the green areas.
  6. With White Scar again, just add a small highlight to the most promenient edges.
