Recipe for the Ultramarines 4th Company, the 'Defenders of Ultramar'. Designed with Airbrushing in mind. *WIP*

This recipe is how I prefer to paint my Ultramarines 4th Company. I prodominently use an Airbrush to start off the model, and continue on with layering and glazing. I haven't tried these steps with Drybrushing, or layering the Power Armour, but you could achieve similar results using layering.

Blue Power Armour

1. Begin by priming the model in Chaos Black , or any other Black Primer
2. Base layer/Airbrush all over with Night Lords Blue , covering the entire model
3. Follow up with a Zenithal highlight of Macragge Blue , leaving the Night Lords Blue showing in the shadows
4. Upper Zenithal hightlight of Calgar Blue , coming in at a 45 degree Angle, making sure not to cover the Macragge Blue
5. Fenrisian Grey
6. Using a 1:2 mix of Black Templar + Contrast Medium , shade the recesses of the power armour

Green Trim

1. Base the trim in Caliban Green
2. Using the Zenithal highlight as a guide, layer Warpstone Glow , focusing on the areas where Macragge Blue is most prominent
3. Final layer of Moot Green , focusing on ares where Calgar Blue remains on the armour
4. 1:1 Moot Green + White Scar

Gold Details

1. Base the gold areas using Retributor Armour , making sure to avoid the Power Armour.
2. Follow with an all over shade of Reikland Fleshshade
3. Retributor Armour
4. Liberator Gold
5. Stormhost Silver
6. Seraphim Sepia

Under Armour

1. Base all the Black under armour with Iron Hands Steel , and Iron Warriors in the shadowed areas
2. Using a 1:1 Mix of Black Templar + Contrast Medium , shade all over the metalic areas with this mix

Gun Casing

1. Base coat the Bolter with Abaddon Black
2. Corvus Black
3. Eshin Grey
4. Edge Highlight Citadel Mechanicus Standard Grey

Metal Details

1. Leadbelcher
2. 1:1 Basilicanum Grey : + Contrast Medium
3. Leadbelcher
4. Highlight Stormhost Silver
