A spin on the classic paint sheme

Skin and Scales

  1. Prime with Wraithbone
  2. Go over the soft skin with Ionrach Skin
  3. First shading layer with 1:4 Terradon Turquoise | Contrast Medium . This can go all over the model, since it's the lightest shade there is and it's fine for the lightest skin
  4. Go over the soft skin again with Ionrach Skin to create volumetric highlights on skin
  5. Go over the scales with a layer of 1:2 Terradon Turquoise | Contrast Medium
  6. Go over the hardest scales with pure Terradon Turquoise
  7. Paint the spikes on the spine and the closest scales with Incubi Darkness this also goes for the hardest part on the head
  8. Highlight the spine spikes and the darkest edges on the head with Sons of Horus Green
  9. Highlight the medium-soft skin with 1:2 Sons of Horus Green | Ionrach Skin
  10. Add another layer of volumetric highlights to soft skin with 1:1 Ionrach Skin | Wraithbone
  11. Edge highlight the edges of the soft skin with pure Wraithbone

Gold

  1. Basecoat with Skullcrusher Brass
  2. Pick out some areas with Gore-grunta Fur diluted slightly with water or medium to create "red gold" accents
  3. Cover the hilt of the weapon with diluted Cygor Brown for brownish gold details
  4. Go over all the gold with Seraphim Sepia
  5. Edge highlight the gold with Liberator Gold
  6. Dot highlight with 1:1 Liberator Gold | Stormhost Silver

Obsidian Weapons

  1. Basecoat with Black Legion
  2. Shade with Shyish Purple
  3. Drybrush with Russ Grey
  4. Edge highlight with Fenrisian Grey
