Bone Coloured Armour

1. I would recommend priming with Wraithbone or any other light and slightly warm colour. This will make getting a nice tone to the armour easier.
2. Basecoat armour with Ushabti Bone .
3. Either zenethal highlight with thinned Screaming Skull from a downward 45 degree angle or glaze/drybrush in where the light would hit.
4. Recess shade with Skeleton Horde thinned with Contrast Medium 1:1. Don't be too neat, the contrast should pull towards the recess and give something like a transition. Now is also a good time to paint the under-suit/tubing by your preferred method.
5. Recess shade deep areas, this time being careful, and using Agrax Earthshade . I used is straight out of the pot, but you could mix in a little contrast if you wanted to make life a little easier.
6. Add a chunky highlight of Screaming Skull to all edges.
7. Edge highlight everything again with fine lines of Pallid Wych Flesh .
8. Selectively edge highlight the most exposed curved edges and corners where highlights meet with a pure white of your choice, like White Scar .

Optional: Battle Damage

1. Add small patches of Mournfang Brown using dots with a fine brush. Try to stick to edges and corners where damage would occur, mostly towards the front of the Space Marine.
2. Underline the damage from the last step with fine lines of Pallid Wych Flesh .

Dark Grey Undersuit

1. Basecoat with Mechanicus Standard Grey .
2. Wash with Nuln Oil .
3. Edge highlight with Dawnstone .
4. Selectively edge highlight with Administratum Grey .
5. Mix some White into you Administratum Grey and add very small/specular highlights.

Red Eye Lenses

1. Basecoat with Khorne Red .
2. Highlight the two thirds of the lenses closes to the nose with Evil Sunz Scarlet .
3. Repeat, covering the closest third with Troll Slayer Orange . This may take a couple of coats to affect the cover sufficiently, since coverage isnt great.
4. Add a specular highlight of Lugganath Orange next to the nose.
5. Finish with a specular highlight of White in the opposite corner.

Red Helmet

I also used this recipe for the stripe on the smoke grenade.

1. Basecoat with Mephiston Red .
2. Mix the Mephiston Red 1:1 with Abaddon Black and shade the recesses with fine lines. I glazed this in a few places too.
3. Apply chunky highlights of Evil Sunz Scarlet .
4. With a 1:1 mix of Evil Sunz Scarlet and Tau Light Ochre . Apply fine edge highlights to everything.
5. Slectively edge highlight with Tau Light Ochre .
6. Mix some White into your Tau Light Ochre , then add specular highlights.

Green Lenses

1. Basecoat with Caliban Green .
2. Highlight the two thirds closest to the nose with Warpstone Glow .
3. Now cover just the closest third with Moot Green .
4. Add some Ice Yellow (or Dorn Yellow ) into your Moot Green and then add a specular highlight next to the nose.
5. Finish with a specular highlight of White in the opposite corner.

Skin

1. Basecoat with Kislev Flesh .
2. Wash with Reikland Fleshshade .
3. You can enhance shading with Doombull Brown .
4. Then add White into your Kislev Flesh gradually, highlgihting smaller and smaller.

On the shaved head, I mixed Dawnstone and Kislev Flesh then glazed on stubble.

Eyes

1. For the eyes, I began by glazing a dark red brown around the eye sockets. This was a mix of Khorne Red and Rhinox Hide I had on my palette.
2. Then I basecoated the eyes with Ulthuan Grey .
3. I finished them with a Black pupil.

Dark Brown Leather

1. Basecoat the leather area with Rhinox Hide .
2. Glaze most of the leather with thinned Mournfang Brown . Use quite a small brush and drag towards edges in rough lines. This should create some extra texture.
3. Add a chunky edge highlight of Skrag Brown to all edges.
4. Highlight everything again, this time with a fine line of Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone mixed 1:1. This is a good mix to throw in occasional fine lines as scratches too.
5. With pure Ushabti Bone , selectively highlight corners and exposed edges of the leather. Put a dot of this colour where the additional scratched above meet edges too.
6. Add a little pure white (like Dead White ) to your Ushabti Bone and add dot highlights to corners.

Black Weapon Casing

I also used this recipe on a few other places around the miniature like the Eliminator visor and the tubing on the helmets.

1. Basecoat with Black .
2. Edge highlight everything with a thick line of Dark Reaper .
3. Highlight everything again, this time with a thin line of Thunderhawk Blue . This colour is a good place to put in some scratches too.
4. With Fenrisian Grey , selectively highlight upward facing edges, corners and prominent edges. Stick primarily to edges where the light would hit and always drag your brush towards the brightest point. If you added scratches previously, reinforce them with a smaller, thinner line underneath.
5. Finally, edge add small highlights to the centre of the previous highlights and corners with Blue Horror . Try to make them very small, dots if at all possible.

Black Armour Trim

1. Basecoat with Black .
2. Edge highlight everything with Eshin Grey .
3. Edge highlight most of the edges again with Dawnstone .
4. Selectively edge highlight curved edges and corners with Administratum Grey .
5. Add dot highlights of White to points corners and more exposed edges that were highlighted in the last step.

Dark Red Chest Device

1. Basecoat with Khorne Red .

Parchment

1. Basecoat with Steel Legion Drab .
2. With Karak Stone paint all of the parchment, apart from the recess between the two pieces. Do a few coats for full coverage.
3. Use Rakarth Flesh and paint in horizontal lines, picking out the raised details.
4. Highlight the detail more selectively, aiming for most extreme folds and points. Use Pallid Wych Flesh for this.
5. Glaze towards the "wax" with Agrax Earthshade . Also use this for a recess shade between the parchment an in cuts and splits.
6. Selectively highlight edges with small amounts of White Scar or another pure white.
