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.
