I started by priming the miniature with Chaos Black. Since the miniature is going to be mostly black, this seemed like the natural choice.
Brown Fur
- Basecoat with a 1:1 mix of Rhinox Hide and Abaddon Black.
- With Rhinox Hide start building up the volumes with Rhinox Hide. Highlight in thin lines, coverring most of the area.
- Repeat the step above with a 1:1 mix of Rhinox Hide and Mournfang Brown, but cover a smaller area.
- Getting smaller again, repeat the process with a whole series of Mournfang Brown lines. T
- Mix a small amount of Vallejo Model Color Ivory or Wraithbone into your Mournfang Brown and highlight very small areas where the light would hit.
- With a greater amount of Ivory or Wraithbone mixed into your Mournfang Brown. At this stage my highlights are just a few disparate dots of paint in a very small area.
- On ear tips of areas that need a little punch, feel free to finish of with a specular highlight of Ivory or Wraithbone.
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.
Brown Leather Pouches
- Basecoat with Rhinox Hide.
- Recess shade with Nuln Oil.
- Chunky highlights of Mournfang Brown.
- Fine highlights of Steel Legion Drab.

- Mix a little White Scar into your Karak Stone and add specular highlights, where needed.
Steel
- Basecoat with Leadbelcher.
- Wash with Nuln Oil.
- Pick out some details with Ironbreaker.
- Add fine highlights with Vallejo Model Air Silver RLM01 Metallic.
- In deep recesses and areas that need some additional visual interest, glaze in some Agrax Earthshade and/or Seraphim Sepia.
Bronze
- Basecoat with Runelord Brass.
- Wash with Darkoath Flesh thinned with an equal amount of Contrast Medium.
- Re-establish Runelord Brass in areas you want to be brighter.
