Very fast method for painting battle ready Primaris Ultramarines

Priming

Suggested to keep helmet/head separate, following same steps for each component. No need to be particularly neat, as we will layer over all detailed areas later, it is more important to have a good transition between the blue tones in the drybrushing steps.

1. Prime Chaos Black
2. Zenithal Wraithbone

Base layers

1. Layer - armor Kantor Blue
2. Drybrush 1 (heavy) - armor Alaitoc Blue
3. Drybrush 2 (light) - armor Hoeth Blue
4. Layer - Pauldron trim, Chest Aquila, relics Balthasar Gold
5. Layer - Leather belt, holsters German Camouflage Med Brown
6. Layer: Gun stock, armor joints, hoses - Abaddon Black
7. Layer - Gun metal parts, connectors, studs, melee weapons Leadbelcher
8. Layer - eye lenses (blue or white helmets) Mephiston Red

It is useful to add transfers/decals at this time so they do not stand out after the all over wash. Touch up of the decals may be required if they are stained too darkly, best to do while still wet.

1. Transfers/Decals: add all transfers/decals

Washes

Use a heavy, all over wash. It is important to work quickly and to move the wash into the recess and joints to avoid pooling on the armor surfaces. Minor "staining" can be cleaned up in the highlighting stages with application of Alaitoc Blue followed by a highlight of Hoeth Blue

1. Wash - all armor and weapons Nuln Oil
2. Wash - all leather and gold items Agrax Earthshade
3. Highlight - raised armor panels, top surfaces Hoeth Blue
4. Highlight True Metal Gold
5. Highlight - leather items Flat Earth
6. Highlight - metal items True Metal Silver
7. Highlight 1 - eye lenses Wild Rider Red

9. Highlight 1 - gunstocks, armor joints, hoses Eshin Grey
10. Highlight 2 - gunstocks, armor joints, hoses Field Blue
