  1. Prime Hyrax Brown
  2. Metal with AK Rust Texture, then stippled Thrash Metal . I thinned some Sunburst Ochre to imply subtle rusting in recesses, and added some Heavy Metal scratches/highlights on metal edges.
  3. Fabric with Sunburst Ochre , tabard with Blanched Berry , skin and wood with Banshee Brown , stone with Ironclad Grey , fur with Ruddy Terra
  4. I stippled Ivory White onto the robes and scripture, creating texture by going back over multiple times on highlights/etc. The robes were then knocked back a tone with some Seraphim Sepia , then a few ivory highlight scratches. I used a micron fineliner to 'write' some text on the scrolls.
  5. The tabard was highlighted by mixing some Sunset Purple into the Blanched Berry . I then added a touch of AP Moonpetal for the extreme highlights. AP Vineroot Shade was then used to knock it all back a little bit.
  6. I highlighted the stone by mixing in some Zandri Dust to the previous Ironclad Grey
  7. Wood and leather was washed with Seraphim Sepia , then subtly rehighlighted up with Banshee Brown - sometimes I mixed in a bit of Zandri Dust for scratches and such.
  8. I mixed Ruddy Terra into the Banshee Brown for some basic skin highlights, then kept adding Ivory White for the face. Blanched Berry was mixed in for the lips, then all skin was glazed with Guilliman Flesh . Eyes were basecoated Ivory White then pupils dotted with a micron 005 fineliner. Tbh I would use a different skintone, this felt overly complex for a mid effect.
  9. Base was just Krautcover Grimdark and then rimmed with Ironclad Grey
