Undercoating

  1. Undercoat with any mid tone grey, I use a rattle can for this

Blue armour

  1. Basecoat with Royal Blue i do this with an airbrush though you can apply with a brush
  2. Recess shade with Drakenhof Nightshade
  3. Edge highlight with a 50:50 mix of Royal Blue abd Administratum Grey

Gold

  1. Basecoat with Retributor Armour
  2. Shade all over with Agrax Earthshade
  3. Edge highlight with a 50:50 mix of Retributor Armour and Runefang Steel

Silver

  1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher
  2. Shade with Agrax Earthshade
  3. Edge highlight with a 50:50 mix of Leadbelcher and Runefang Steel

Black

  1. Basecoat all the black areas with Black Legion you may need a couple layers to get it smooth
  2. Just on the most visible parts so the chest cables and helmet crests etc edge highlight with Administratum Grey

Eye lenses

  1. Paint Ghost Grey or alternatively Grey Seer into the eye sockets but we don’t want to fill the whole socket. This is quite fiddly so take your timer
  2. Apply Blood Angels Red to the whole eye socket

Plasma effects

  1. Paint all the coils with Ghost Grey or alternatively Grey Seer
  2. Paint one thin layer of Frostheart all over the coils
  3. Paint another layer of Frostheart this time having a much larger amount of paint on your brush

Finishing touches

  1. Apply the transfers of your choice
  2. Base your models in whatever way you like ☺️
