I started by priming the miniature with Chaos Black . Since the miniature is going to be mostly black, this seemed like the natural choice.
Grey Undersuit
- Basecoat with Mechanicus Standard Grey .
- Was the cloth with Black Templar , thinned with :cpntrast medium.
- Mix the Mechanicus Standard Grey 1:1 with Dawnstone and add chunky highlights.
- Now with pure Dawnstone , add fine highlights to the same area.
- Add small selective highlights of Administratum Grey .
- Finally, mix a small amount of White Scar into your Administratum Grey and place small specular highlights where needed.
Visor
- Basecoat with Khorne Red .
- Cover the central two thirds with Evil Sunz Scarlet , pulling your brush towards the centre.
- Mix some Lugganath Orange into your Evil Sunz Scarlet and cover a smaller area.
- With pure Lugganath Orange , paint just the very centre of the visor.
- Mix some Ivory or Wraithbone into your Lugganath Orange and paint a thin line in the centre.
- Finally, finish of the visor with a dot of White Scar in centre. I also put very small specs in the top right and/or left corner of the visor, where there is Khorne Red still.
Caucasian Skin
- Basecoat with Cadian Fleshtone .
- Wash with Reikland Fleshshade .
- Mix increasing amount of Wraithbone into your Cadian Fleshtone and highlight details on the face, getting smaller with each pass.
Black Armour
- Basecoat with Abaddon Black .
- Add chunky edge highlights with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and Kantor Blue .
- Do another pass, this time with fine edge highlights of Thunderhawk Blue .
- Selectively highlight the armour with Fenrisian Grey .
- Add points of shine with dot/very small highlights of Blue Horror .
Black Leather

Steel
