Black Cloth
- Basecoat with Black .
- Glaze raised surfaces with 1:1 Black and Dark Reaper .
- Add chunky highlights with Dark Reaper . These are best applied as a series of lines to add texture.
- Mix your Dark Reaper 1:1 with Administratum Grey and repeat the above, but more selectively. This time apply as fine edge highlights along hard edges too.
- Selectively highlight with pure Administratum Grey .
- Mix your Administratum Grey 1:1 with White and add specular highlights where needed.
While highlighting this cloth, it can be easy to overdo it and have them look too stark. if this happens, thin the initial mix of Black and Dark Reaper and knock back the highlights by glazing over them again. I did this two times on the model pictured, until I was happy.

There is some nice sculpted battle damage on this mini. Consider thinning down some Sotek Green and carefully flooding chips and dents. You may even want to glaze small amounts into a few recesses to show wear.

Blue Lens
- Basecoat with Kantor Blue .
- Mix some Russ Grey into your Kantor Blue and paint the lower left or right portion, leaving enough room for reducing its size 2 or 3 more times.
- Paint a smaller area with pure Russ Grey .
- Add some White to your Russ Grey in a 1:2 ratio and paint an even smaller patch, working further into your chosen side.
- If you have enough room, paint an even smaller patch with pure Russ Grey and White mixed 2:1.
- With the size of this lens, consider mixing some Abaddon Black into your Kantor Blue and painting a patch on the exact opposite side, leaving a swath of pure Kantor Blue exposed.
- Finally, add a dot of White on the same side as the black, mirroring your brightest light blue highlight. Keep this tucked close to the edge, to prevent it looking too much like a gem.
