Kindly sent to me by Fireforge games, these models are a mash-up of their Mounter Samurai and Sohei Warrior Monks kits, to see what what possible. He is how I went about painting my test models.

Skin

1. Basecoat with 2:1 Cadian Fleshtone and Mournfang Brown .
2. Increase the amount of Mournfang Brown in the above mix and shade the skin.
3. Mix the base colour 2:1 with Ushabti Bone and add chunky highlights.
4. Increase the amount of Ushabti Bone in the above mix, so it is about 1:2 now. use this for finer highlights.
5. Mix in a little White and selectively highlight.
6. Increase the amount of White in the mix, until it is a subtle off-white. Now pick out a few specular highlights.
7. When it came to the shaved portion in the centre of his head, I highlighted as normal, then mixed a little Dawnstone into the initial highlight colour. With this mix, glaze the section then highlight if needed. This should add a subtle grey.

Yellow Cloth

2. Mix the base colour 1:1 with Khorne Red and add shading to folds.
3. Now, mix the above colour 1:1 with Black and further shade the recesses. At this point, I find it best to stick to the very deep folds and where the cloth meets other materials.
4. Apply chunky highlights of Fire Dragon Bright to the cloth. With the crispness of the details on this sculpt, I first applied a standard edge highlight, before thickening the highlights with a series of downward facing lines.
