Red Hood

  1. Basecoat with Khorne Red .
  2. With a 1:1 mix of Khorne Red and Abaddon Black , shade the recesses of the cloth. I like to thin this paint with Lahmian Medium to soften the shading, then do a second pass for particularly deep parts.
  3. With Wazdakka Red pick out all edges, corners and folds. You may even want to add a few scrathes on open areas, to add a little visual interest.
  4. Mix your Wazdakka Red 1:1 with Karak Stone , then more selectively highlight.
  5. Finish with a few small highlights of pure Karak Stone .

For the eye, I basecoated with Caliban Green . Then highlighted using Warp Lightning , Moot Green and Ice Yellow .

Cloth Smock

  1. Basecoat as Karak Stone .
  2. Shade with Baneblade Brown .
  3. Deep shade with Dryad Bark . The jump between the initial stage and this is quite big, consider a 1:1 mix of the two to bridge the gap.
  4. Apply highlights of 1:1 Karak Stone and White . I would recommend applying all of these highlights with scratch lines and dots, to give the impression of texture, well worn c.loth.
  5. Finish with small highlights of pure Wraithbone .

Grey Robes

  1. Basecoat with Skavenblight Dinge .
  2. Shade recesses with a thinned mix of 1:1 Skavenblight Dinge and Abaddon Black .
  3. Highlight with Stormvermin Fur .
  4. Gradually mix Ivory into your Stormvermin Fur and highlight the cloth. Do this in multiple passes until you are finishing them with specular highlights of almost pure Ivory .

Warm Leather Gloves

  1. Basecoat with Mournfang Brown .
  2. Shade with Rhinox Hide .
  3. With 1:1 Mournfang Brown and XV-88 add chunky highlights.
  4. Apply fine highlight of XV-88 add fine highlights.
  5. Selectively highlight with 1:1 XV-88 and Morghast Bone .
  6. Finish with very small/specular highlights of Morghast Bone .

Dark Brown Leather

  1. Basecoat Rhinox Hide .
  2. Shade with thinned Abaddon Black .
  3. Add chunky highlights of Doombull Brown .
  4. Add fine highlights of Mournfang Brown .
  5. Selectively highlight with XV-88 .
  6. Mix some White into the XV-88 and finish with specular highlights.

Wood

  1. Basecoat with 1:1 Dryad Bark & Mournfang Brown .
  2. Run some thin Dryad Bark into deep recesses.
  3. Apply chunky highlights with a 1:1 mix of the base colour & Karak Stone .
  4. Now apply fine highlights with Karak Stone .
  5. Finish with selective highlights of 1:1 Karak Stone & Wraithbone .

Steel

  1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
  2. Wash with Nuln Oil . Adding glazes of Agrax Earthshade towards deep recesses, and where more interest is needed.
  3. Highlight with Ironbreaker .
  4. Finish with selective highlights of Silver RLM01 Metallic .

For the blood, I applied some Blood For The Blood God , then mixed a little Black in for the darker patches.

Cord

  1. Basecoat with Rakarth Flesh .
  2. Glaze/wash with Agrax Earthshade .
  3. Mix increasing amount of White into your Rakarth Flesh and highlight. I would recommend doing this in several stages to make the transition smooth.
  4. Finish with specular White highlights.

Breathing Tube

  1. Basecoat with Black .
  2. Highlight with Incubi Darkness
  3. Mix increasing amount of Deepkin Flesh into your :black and highlight. I would recommend doing this in several stages to make the transition smooth, finishing with a few dots of pure Deepkin Flesh .
