Blue Cloth

  1. Basecoat with Kantor Blue .
  2. Shade with a thin mix if 1:1 Kantor Blue and Abaddon Black .
  3. Glaze the majority of the surface with 1:1 Kantor Blue and Caledor Sky . The aim is to cover most of the surface, pulling your brush towards where highlights will be built-up.
  4. Repeat with pure Caledor Sky , covering a smaller area, within the previous stages highlights.
  5. Add chunky highlights of Teclis Blue .
  6. Mix your Teclis Blue 1:1 with Administratum Grey and selectively highlight.
  7. Finish with very small/specular highlights of Administratum Grey , where needed.

Skin

  1. Basecoat with Cadian Fleshtone .
  2. Mix Cadian Fleshtone and Doombull Brown 1:1, then carefully shade the skin. I thinned mine with Lahmian Medium to make it more subtle.
  3. Further define deep recesses with a small amount of Doombull Brown . I even mixed ina little Abaddon Black to shade the eye sockets.
  4. Highlight with Kislev Flesh .
  5. Highlight more selectively with 1:1 Kislev Flesh and White .
  6. Finish with specular White highlights, in just a few select areas.

For the eyes, I picked out the eyeballs with Ulthuan Grey . Finishing them with a Black dot.

Blonde Hair

  1. Basecoat with Balor Brown .
  2. Shade with glazes of XV-88 . There are lots of deep recesses, so you can go quite heavy in most places. Be sure to be gentle round the central part above the face though.
  3. Shade very deep recesses with a small amount of Doombull Brown .
  4. Add chunky highlights of Averland Sunset .
  5. Mix some Averland Sunset 1:1 with Ice Yellow , then add finer highlights.
  6. Selectively highlight with Ice Yellow .
  7. Mix some White into your Ice Yellow , then add smaller highlights, within the previous stage.
  8. Finish with specular White highlights, sticking almost entirely to the spikes of the hair.

White Leather

  1. Basecoat with 1:2 Celestra Grey and White .
  2. Shade with thin :Citadel/AdministratumGrey.
  3. Shade recesses with Dawnstone .
  4. Definitely deep recesses with fine lines of Mechanicus Standard Grey .
  5. Highlight with pure White .

Gold Details

  1. Basecoat with Retributor Armour .
  2. Shade with a 1:1 mix of Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade . Run it into recesses and glaze towards the darkest parts, rather than doin an all over wash.
  3. Define deep recesses with fine lines of 1:1 Doombull Brown and Abaddon Black .
  4. Mix a small amount of Silver RLM01 Metallic into your Retributor Armour and highlight.
  5. Increase the amount of Silver RLM01 Metallic in the mix, so it is at least 1:1 with the Retributor Armour and add fine highlights on curves and corners.
  6. Finish with selective highlights of pure Silver RLM01 Metallic , working within the previous stage.
