Basecoats

1. Undercoat the model with any old black I used 180 Signal Black but any brand is fine.
2. Base coat the model with Dark Prussian Blue leaving black in the deepest recesses and highlight with 027 Petrol ( Caledor Sky or Regal Blue are good alternatives, but molotow goes through the airbrush soooo nicely)
3. Paint any red areas (eg the fist) with Blanched Berry and highlight with Mephiston Red and Blood Thorn (John Blanche Vol. 4, not on here yet)
4. Paint in the black areas like the under-suit and weapons and metal areas with Black Legion or any other good black.
5. Pick out any metal with a silver (I used Silver RLM01 Metallic )
6. Mix a dark blue/black oil wash and pinwash the armour, including redbits and clean up any over spill. Alternativly was the whole model with a dirty brown oil wash. I used some Ivory Black mixed with a bit of Phthalo Blue and a Ivory Black and a bit of Burnt Umber for the silver, alternativly you could use contrast paint/speed paint with water eg Black Legion or Grim Black for the armour and Ratling Grime for the metal.
7. Hit with a gloss varnish here and apply decals and/or freehands
8. Matte or Satin varnish to tie them to the model and unify the finish
9. Go over the red edges with some more Blood Thorn with a tad of Ice Yellow ellow in to highlight and make them pop.
10. Do the same to the blue, highlighting the armour edges with Dark Prussian Blue with some Ice Yellow mixed in
11. Paint any effects like eye lenses, screens etc with Bold Titanium White or any other good white paint and use speedpaints/contrast/flourescents to complete.
12. Matte or Satin Varnish
13. re-highlight the metal with a silver and stain any areas you want gold with Sand Golem
