Armour
Armour
- Base the entire model in Macragge Blue . You may have to do a few layers to get the desired coverage.
- Black out pieces of armour that will not be blue with Abaddon Black
- Begin shading the armour with 2:1 Kantor Blue / Abaddon Black . Thin down heavily with water and paint into recess and panel lines. You can reapply Macragge Blue if you go over in any spots.
- For highlighting, start with a 2:1 mix of Macragge Blue / Calgar Blue . Highlight a small bit out from the edges. Thin this down heavily also.
- Then add another part of Calgar Blue to the mix and highlight edges. Thin down heavily.
- Highlight next with just Calgar Blue . Thin down heavily.
- Selectively highlight with a 1:1 mix of Fenrisian Grey and Calgar Blue . Thin down heavily.
- Then add Blue Horror to this mix and apply it to the sharpest parts on the edges. Thin down heavily.
Undersuit
- Add fine edge highlights along all ridges with Dawnstone
- Highlight selectively with Administratum Grey
- Mix some White Scar into the Administratum Grey , then add very small highlights.
Gold Details
- Basecoat with Retributor Armour
- Shade with Reikland Fleshshade , pulling your brush towards the recess.
- Shade the deepest parts with a small amount of Doombull Brown .
- Re-establish Retributor Armour where needed.
- Now mix some Stormhost Silver into your Retributor Armour and selectively highlight.
- Finish with a few specular highlight of Stormhost Silver .
Lenses
- Basecoat with 1:1 Khorne Red and Abaddon Black
- Work Mephiston Red down into the lower areas on the lense. Water this down and apply a few times, purposely reapply heavier further down.

Weapon
Metal Parts
- Cover the metal parts of the gun in Leadbelcher
- Add a shade using Nuln Oil
- Highlight the metal areas with Iron Hands Steel
- With Runefang Steel , edge highlight on corners, curves, and rivets.
Casing
- Highlight the edges of the cases with Corvus Black
- Mix 1:1 Eshin Grey / Dawnstone . And with this further highlight the very edges of highlighted areas.
- Finally apply Administratum Grey to the very edges
- Apply a dot of Grey Seer to the very edges of sharp edges
Flamer Muzzle
- Basecoat with Runelord Brass .
- Shade with Gore-grunta Fur . I would recommend popping some on your wet palette and applying selectively.
- Do the same with Wyldwood , targeting only the deepest points.
- Highlight with Runelord Brass and a little Stormhost Silver .
- Finish with selective highlights of Runefang Steel .
- To add a burn effect towards the end of the muzzle, glaze selectively with 2:1 Reikland Fleshshade and Gore-grunta Fur . Then more selectively towards the tip with a purple, like Luxion Purple .
Leather
- Basecoat leather areas in Rhinox Hide
- Glaze most of the leather with thinned Mournfang Brown . Use quite a small brush and drag towards edges in rough lines. This should create some extra texture.
- Add a chunky edge highlight of Skrag Brown to all edges.
- Highlight everything again, this time with a fine line of Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone mixed 1:1. This is a good mix to throw in occasional fine lines as scratches too.
- With pure Ushabti Bone , selectively highlight corners and exposed edges of the leather. Put a dot of this colour where the additional scratched above meet edges too.
- Add a little pure white to your Ushabti Bone and add dot highlights to corners.
