This is my take on the classic paint scheme of the Thousand Sons.

The main colours are blue and gold.

General Information:

My general method is to lay down all the base colours for the model, then do all the shading in the recesses before moving on to the highlights.

I don't own an airbrush, so the recipe will mainly consist of brush on paints.

Priming:

I find the metallic sprays from GW tend to be a little on the transparent side, so an initial undercoat of grey helps.

1. Prime the model lightly with Mechanicus Standard Grey
2. Prime over that with Retributor Armour
