  2. Clear Red 4-6 times depending on required depth/richness of coat

Detail Base Coat

Base coat the rest of the details as follows:

  1. Death Reaper for covering the mechanical bits, vents, lenses, and other small details as appropriate. Avoid major armor panel areas, these stay candy coated.
  2. Evil Sunz Scarlet to cover the tips of missiles on any missile pods
  3. Troll Slayer Orange as a smaller dot on the tips of the missiles
  4. Trooper White on the very tip of the missiles
  5. Trooper White for helmet and some armor panel markings
  6. Skeleton Legion for cloth on bond knives/other fabrics
  7. Screaming Bell on T'au insignias and stabilizers on weapons/armor

Lenses

  2. Shieldwall Blue as a smaller dot within the Crystal Blue region, as well as a very small dot in the upper half of the lens
  3. Bold Titanium White as a smaller dot inside both Crystal Blue regions
  4. Talassar Blue across whole lens for blue tint

Flight Vents, Fusion cores, and exhaust plumes

  1. Crystal Blue as a base
  2. Shieldwall Blue to start building gradient
  3. Bold Titanium White : for hottest parts of each region
  4. Shieldwall Blue glaze (1:5 Shieldwall Blue to Warpaints Stabilizer ) over the whole region to make the blend smoother

Highlights

  1. Sir Coates Silver on Death Reaper portions that are not body-suits.
  2. Fenrisian Grey for body-suits
  3. Pale Sand for Skeleton Legion cloth
  4. Bold Titanium White : on Trooper White portions
  5. Brass Scorpion for insignia and stabilizers

Base

  1. AK interactive desert sand texture paste
  2. Populate as you see fit with dry-looking grass tufts/desert flowers
  3. Skeleton Legion dry brush to bring out edges
