Mid Green

Khaki Cloth

  1. Basecoat with 1;1 Karak Stone and Baneblade Brown .

  3. Shade recesses with Steel Legion Drab .
  4. Define very deep recesses and points where the cloth meets other colours with thin lines of Rhinox Hide .
  5. Highlight with Karak Stone .

  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 .
  6. I found the finish was a bit chalky at this point, so I added richness with a glaze of Reikland Fleshshade .

Skin

  1. Basecoat with an equal parts mix of Cadian Fleshtone , Kislev Flesh and White .
  2. Mix some Doombull Brown into the basecoat and glaze in some shading.
  3. Increase the amount of Doombull Brown in the mix and shade the deepest recesses.
  4. Mix some White into the base colour and highlight the skin.
  5. Increase the amount of White in the mix for further highlights, pushing them as far as you need.

Steel

  1. Basecoat with Exhaust Manifold .
  2. Add variety with glazed shading of Ratling Grime and Wyldwood to enhance it in the deepest recess.
