Chaos Cultists scheme for my Red Corsairs warband.

Prime

  1. Prime the entire mini with any black. Matt Black Undercoat was used here.

Skin

  1. Basecoat all the skin with Bugman's Glow . Two thin coats should do it here.
  2. All over wash with Reikland Fleshshade , ensuring it does not pool in areas you do not want it and drag excess in order to define the muscles.
  3. Layer back over with Bugman's Glow , ensuring you don't cover the wash in the recesses.
  4. Layer again with Cadian Fleshtone ; don't cover all of the skin and focus on areas where light would hit the muscles.
  5. Go over scars and areas where metal erupts through the skin with some Carroburg Crimson to give it a slightly inflamed look.

Red Cloth

  1. Base coat the cloth with Mephiston Red using two thin coats.
  2. Wash the cloth with Nuln Oil , making it sure it gets in those deep recesses.
  3. Layer back over the higher points of the cloth with Mephiston Red .
  4. Edge highlight with Evil Sunz Scarlet , then feather it out a bit with some water to make sure it isn't too sharp of a line. Edge highlight sharp corners with the same color.
  5. Hit the absolute sharpest corners with a little bit of Troll Slayer Orange .

Pants and Boots

  1. Layer Corvus Black for the cloth pants, leaving the boots the primed black.
  2. Wash the pants and boots with Agrax Earthshade , giving it a slightly dingy/dirty look.

Brass

  1. Layer with Runelord Brass .
  2. Wash with Reikland Fleshshade .
  3. Hit the high points back with some Runelord Brass .
  4. Absolute tip of spike on helmet with some Stormhost Silver .

Weapons

  1. Layer Corvus Black for the pistols.
  2. Edge highlight with Mechanicus Standard Grey .
  3. Hit all metal parts (barrel, magazine, wrist protector, blade) with Ironbreaker . For the blade, make sure it doesn't cover entirely; one coat should be good to give it a nice used color. Make sure the blade edge has more of that silver color.
  4. Wash all of the Ironbreaker parts with Nuln Oil .
  5. Layer back some of the areas with Ironbreaker .
  6. Edge highlight the blade with Stormhost Silver , ensuring there is a nice solid line on the blade edge, to give it that sharpness look to it.

Base

  1. Lay on some Armageddon Dunes on the base using a texture paint tool, pushing it around to cover the base.
  2. Paint the rim using Abaddon Black .
