Blue Armour

1. Basecoat all of the armour with Kantor Blue .
2. I then mixed my Kantor Blue 1:1 with Abaddon Black and thinned it down with some water (and optional flow improver). With this thin, wash like mix, I shaded all of the recesses with a fairly chunky line.
3. Once this is dry, you can take some pure Abaddon Black and enhance dark recesses. Try to use the tip of the brush and shade within the previous stage, wherever possible.
4. Now take some Altdorf Guard Blue and apply chunky highlights to all edges.
5. Mix your remaining Altdorf Guard Blue with :an equal amount of Fenrisian Grey and apply fine edge highlights to all edges.
6. Now add White to the mix and selectively highlight corvers and exposed curves. You should be adding about the same amount of White to the previous mix as you have paint, so it is a ration of 1:1.
7. Finally, increase the amount of White further, until you have a nice off-white colour. With this very bright paint, pick out a few upward facing points with very small dots.

Force Weapon

1. Basecoat with Thousand Sons Blue .
2. Begin painting/glazing highlights in with Temple Guard Blue .
3. Enhance with Gauss Blaster Green pulling your brush towards the brightest point of the highlight, coverring a smaller area.
4. Glaze Incubi Darkness on the opposing side to the highlights, running your brush in the opposite direction to the highlights.
5. Enhance this shadow by glazing Abaddon Black away from the highlights, coverring a smaller area again.
6. Edge highlight carefully with Gauss Blaster Green .
7. Selectively edge highlight tips and corners with White .

If at any point you are unhappy with how the glazing is going, try switching back to the previous colour and glaze in the opposite direction. You can switch back and forth like this at any point, until you are satisfied.

Glowing Runes

When painting these details, I used a mix of 10 parts water and 1 part flow improver. This is to make the paint run into recesses easier.

1. Thin some Sotek Green quite heavily, then run it into recesses. Don't be scared ot let paint get on either side of the recess, I was particuarly forgiving around the runes.
2. Now thin some Baharroth Blue and grab a fine brush. WIth this paint I was a lot more careful, trying to just flood the recess.
3. Finally, takle some White and thin it again. Fill the glowing runes with this paint and just touch the tip into points where lines meet and corners.
