Not gonna lie, I was aiming for a medieval ninja here. I think he pulls it off, without looking out of place in the setting.
Black Cloak
- Basecoat with Black .
- Drybrush heavily with 1:1 Corvus Black and Dark Reaper .
- Drybrush more lightly with Dark Reaper concentrating on hitting edges.
- Apply fine edge highlights along all easily accessible edges with 1:1 Dark Reaper and Deepkin Flesh .
- Increase the amount of Deepkin Flesh in the mix to roughly 1:1. Now selectively highlight pronounced edges.
- Now add very small highlights with 1:1 Deepkin Flesh and Grey Seer .
Blue-Grey Robes
- Basecoat with 1:1 Dark Reaper and Stormvermin Fur .
- Mix 1:1 Rhinox Hide and Kantor Blue , THEN take a blob and mix it into your basecoat. Use this mix to add soft shading in the folds.
- With the pure Rhinox Hide and Kantor Blue mix, enhance the shading when the folds are particularly deep.
- Highlight with an equal parts mix of Stormvermin Fur and Dawnstone .
- More selectively highlight with Dawnstone and Screaming Skull , mixed 1:1.
- Finish with a few small Screaming Skull highlights.
Arm Wraps
- Basecoat with Steel Legion Drab .
- Shade between the wrapping with thinned Rhinox Hide and a thin brush.
- Glaze raised areas with Karak Stone , dragging your brush upwards.
- Edge highlight wrappings with Ushabti Bone .
- More selectively highlight with Screaming Skull .
- Mix some :white into your Screaming Skull and highlight a little smaller.
I used this same recipe for the face mask. Then just highlighted the stitches with the brightest colour, and finished them with specular White highlights.
Skin
- Basecoat with Cadian Fleshtone .
- Wash with 2:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Contrast Medium .
- Selectively highlight with Kislev Flesh .
- Finish with specular highlights of Pallid Wych Flesh .
Dark Brown Leather
- Basecoat with Rhinox Hide .
- Take some thinned Mournfang Brown and apply a heavy glaze over the tube. Work in rough lines, always pulling your brush towards the apex of the tube.
- Now with Skrag Brown , apply a chunky highlight down the most exposed part of the tube, covering less area that the previous stage.
- Mix 1:1 Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone and repeat the above, but make it a finer highlight.
- Selectively highlight with Ushabti Bone .
- Add a little White to the Ushabti Bone and add a couple of specular highlights, where needed.
Gold Detail
- Mix a little Silver RLM01 Metallic into Retributor Armour and basecoat the handles of the blades.
- Wash with Reikland Fleshshade .
- Increase the amount of Silver RLM01 Metallic in the Retributor Armour , then apply selective highlights.
- Finish with a few specular Silver RLM01 Metallic highlights.
Blades
- Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
- Wash with Nuln Oil .
- Mix some Silver RLM01 Metallic into your Leadbelcher , then highlight close to the tip (on the flat sides) and edge highlight the rest.
- With pure Silver RLM01 Metallic , edge highlight the tip and place a few specular highlights on corners.
