Model

  1. prime the model with Chaos Black
  2. Paint the metal areas with Gun Metal
  3. Wash the dark metal (like the joints, spine and fingers) with a 1:2 ratio of Black Templar and Contrast Medium
  4. Wash ALL the metal with a 1:1 ratio of Nuln Oil and Lahmian Medium . This will leave a satin finish over the darker metals we just washed with blacktemplar and creates nice defenition on the lighter metals like the armour and the shoulders.

Weapons (and other black details)

  1. Basecoat the weapon with Matt Black

Blackstone details

  1. Basecoat with Scarab Green

Base

  1. Add texture (sand or a paste)
  2. Basecoat the ground with a very thinned down Obsidian Skin
  3. Heavy drybrush with Grey Castle
  4. Basecoat the stones with Rakarth Flesh
  5. Wash the stones with a 1:1 ratio of Coelia Greenshade and Lahmian Medium
  6. Drybrush the ground and stones with Ash Grey
  7. Drybrush the stones with Pale Sand
  8. Wash the base ground with a 1:1 ration Agrax Earthshade and Lahmian Medium
  9. Paint the rim of the base with Matt Black
  10. Varnish the whole mini with Munitorum Varnish
  11. Add grass tufts (I like to use dark moss and mixed tufts with muted greens and beige colors
