Priming
- Prime using grey / white color. I'm using White Scar .
- In order to easily cover mistakes, I'm airbrushing Dead White all over the miniature, especially the skin, but it also works by brush.
Carapace
- The messy steps first, I'm painting the carapace. I'm using a 1:1:4:1 mix of Aeldari Emerald , Kroxigor Scales , Black Templar and Vallejo Flow Improver.
