A guide on how to fully paint my varient colour scheme of Emperor’s children.

  1. Begin by undercoating the model with Wraithbone spray paint.
  2. Undercoat the model with Retributor Armour . I find the spray varient of this paint unreliable so I do this step by hand.
  3. Wash the model with Reikland Fleshshade . Don't worry if this is messy.
  4. Heavily drybrush the model with Liberator Gold .
  5. Apply a lighter drybrush with Stormhost Silver .

Hello :) I have been into the warhammer hobby for over a year and in that time I have painted numerous models from both warhammer 40k, kill team, age of sigmar, and underworlds. I have around 3000 points of blood angels space marines, some beast snagga orks, kraken tyranids, necrons, emperor's children, knights excelsior stormcast eternals, Christmas themed Kruleboyz, some gloomspite gitz, the Blooded, intercession, and Plague marine kill teams and more.
