Purple Robe
- Basecoat with Abaddon Black .
- Glaze highlights with Naggaroth Night Night. I'd recommend doing a few passes or easing the transition with a black and purple mix initially.
- Chunky highlights of 2:3 Naggaroth Night & Screamer Pink .
- Fine highlights of Genestealer Purple .
- Selective highlights of Administratum Grey .
- Spot high lights of 1:1 Dechala Lilac and White .
When the robe was finished, I felt it could do with being a little more pink. So, I took some Volupus Pink , worked it on my wet palette and applied it as a glaze. I started at the highest highlights and dragged my brush to recesses.

- If any points need extra shading, I would recommend using some thing Doombull Brown .
- Re-establish the basecoat where needed, then mix increasing amounts of White Scar into it, highlighting up raised points.
Dark Brown Leather
- Basecoat the leather area with 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 and scratches.
- 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 (like Dead White ) to your Ushabti Bone and add dot highlights to corners.
Skull

- Wash with a 1:1 mix of Skeleton Horde and Contrast Medium .
