Armour Trim

  1. I've painted the trim using Non Metallic Metal. It's not as hard as it looks. Base the trim using Rhinox Hide
  2. Once based, take a picture of each bit of the trim with a light overhead. Up the contrast and you'll have a very nice picture of your shadows and highlights!
  3. Keeping Rhinox Hide in the deepest shadow, begin painting in the mid tones using XV-88
  4. Using Averland Sunset , put the broad highlights in
  5. Now use Dorn Yellow to refine the highlights
  6. Paint in some spot highlights using White Scar

Steel

I struggled with the steel on this model. I think I just ran out of steam, so I just wanted it finished. I'll write the steps I used here, but feel free to use any other steel recipe.

  1. Base with Skavenblight Dinge
  2. Place highlights using Dawnstone
  3. Paint a smaller highlight inside the last highlight using Administratum Grey
  4. Even smaller highlights using Celestra Grey
  5. Tiny highlights using White Scar
  6. Get fed up with how it's coming out and then cover it with a 1:1 mix of Ratling Grime and Water
  7. Paint some very sketchy highlights using Administratum Grey and consider it done

Skulls and Horns

  1. Base with Steel Legion Drab
  2. Highlight using a 1:1 mix of Steel Legion Drab and Baneblade Brown
