Here is how I painted my Necron Immortals. This should cover both of the standard weapon options, but I have included a few extra sections for the Immortal Despotek too.
This is a written version of the Sonic Sledgehammer tutorial. Not my work, just lightly adapted to my paints.
Method used to paint 'warp gold', adapted from the Eavy Metal explanation by Max Faleij. Updated February 2022 with some improvements!
In this recipe I'll explain how I found a decent way to create highlights for beginners without needing a steady hand
Tyranid Custom Hive Fleet Paint Scheme.
This custom Hive Fleet is still a work in progress, and remains unnamed for now.
This molten metal looking blade is based strongly upon a YouTube tutorial by "2brushes1cup". Be sure to check it out, if you are looking to achieve a similar effect.
This recipe should be good for bone on 3D printed models which have quite heavy detail or those printed in bright colours. On a model with finer details you could skip the black undercoat and start straight from wraithbone.
The Big Man himself. This model is hardcore and looks damn intimidating if you dont plan out each section well. Fun to paint but there is definitely a lot going on. I painted him in a single piece (Besides the base) by first priming and zenithal highlighting the entire model then using liquid mask to cover his flesh so I could airbrush the cloak. No two ways about it, if this is an option for you it will save you a LOT of time and look damn good. I cannot recommend the Cult of Paint tutorial enough for this and as a really good look at the process of painting a large centrepiece like this. I <3 Cult of Paint.
This collection of recipes is largely me playing about and refining potential methods of painting zombie skin. Most are as simple as contrast paints over different colour basecoats, followed by highlights. I have painted Warlord Games' "Project Z" miniatures in this guide, but they could easily be applied to Poxwalkers, Deadwalker Zombies or any other undead unit.
Here is my recipe for Saurus Warriors. I went the direction of the box art, but wanted the color to be a bit darker/muted.

The Fire Giant from the Blood Rage board game is an excellent mini for testing lava on the base, a fiery sword, glowing runes on the body and OSL effects. My intention was to trial various different effects on different parts of the mini, so just take your pick of the bits you like.
This tutorial (including painting the whole mini) was first published in full about a year ago in three separate posts on https://boardgamegeek.com/blog/8627/griff-glowens-beginners-painting-blog
Here is how I painted my first attempt at a Crimson Fists Space Marine
This method uses Citadel Contrast paints as a "base coat" for Infinity models (inspired by the work of The Tabletop Artist on Youtube). I then work my way up using regular layering and highlighting. Typically the first layer is lighter in value, but sometimes not because of how contrast paint behaves (very light higlights and very dark recess shading).
