See alt scheme for beasts (e.g. knight mounts)

  1. Prime white. Doesn't matter (halfords used initially)
  2. fully coat skin with Nighthaunt Gloom , followed by Nuln Oil . Then, drybrush with Fenrisian Grey and finally Ionrach Skin
  3. Basecoat claws and teeth with Black Legion
  4. Basecoat gums, wing sinew and mouth interiors with Screamer Pink
  5. Basecoat bones with Zandri Dust
  6. Basecoat any leather or wood with Dryad Bark
  7. Shade all above steps with Agrax Earthshade
  8. Any rocks or terrain features built onto the base, over the white primer do a heavy coat of Basilicanum Grey . Initially I did Space Wolves Grey before this, but don't think it adds enough for it to be worth it.
  9. Drybrush highlights: Stormvermin Fur on black, Pink Horror on pink, Screaming Skull on bone and also rocks on the base. Use the latter to pick out teeth. Don't really need to highlight the leather/wood.
  10. Paint the flayed skin areas Cadian Fleshtone , wash with Carroburg Crimson , highlight with Cadian Fleshtone into Kislev Flesh . During the wash step, do it over scards/wounds on the models.
  11. Paint metallics with Black Metal , then Vallejo Rust Texture.
  12. Finish base with Vallejo Diorama Effects European Mud, then dip in Rival Crafts Autumn Woods scatter.
  13. Dab on Dirty Down Moss, then as drying, rub a moist brush over and spread the effect around
  14. Airbrush matte varnish over to help seal base and unify finishes.
  15. Scratchy highlights with Speed Metal to pop
  16. Add Valhallan Blizzard in spots
