Base
- Prime in Wraithbone
Flesh
Skin
- You may have to go over the undercoat with another coat of Wraithbone
- Wash the skin with a 1:2 mix of Magos Purple and Contrast Medium . Be aware of pooling too heavily, but be liberal.
- Work your way around the with Screaming Skull , relayering over the skin but leaving the Contrast in the recesses. Watering down your paint more than usual will help to make an easier gradient from the shade.
- Highlight this with 1:1 Screaming Skull / Pallid Wych Flesh
- Add another mix to the current colour with Pallid Wych Flesh . Focus on hard muscles, edges and glazing where necessary to mimic where light falls on the skin
- Lastly do a 1:1 mix of on sharp edges with White Scar / Pallid Wych Flesh
Joints
- Wash with a 2:1 mix of Volupus Pink and Contrast Medium .
- Throw on a layer of Pink Horror to the higher up areas.
- Highlight these areas with a 1:1 mix of Pink Horror and Kislev Flesh . Thin this out to start building in a gradient.
- Add a further highlighting to all the joint areas now with more Kislev Flesh to the mix.
- Lastly, add Pallid Wych Flesh to the mix and do a last dot highlight to make the flesh look a bit shiny.
Carapace
- Mix 1:1 Abaddon Black / Naggaroth Night and block the carapace completely.
- With Xereus Purple , hightlight the edges and feather then heavily. Also, using a glaze version, highlight any raised 'bumps' in the carapace.
- Run Genestealer Purple along the purple edges and add fethered parts but in less frequency.
- Do further highlighting on these areas with Dechala Lilac . With a glaze, further hightlight the bumped areas.
- Do a spot highlight of Slaanesh Grey .
