Pale Skin

1. Basecoat with an equal parts mix of Daemonette Hide , Rakarth Flesh , Kislev Flesh and White .
2. Mix the base colour 1:1 with Bugman's Glow , then glaze in some shading.
3. Add some Naggaroth Night to the above mix and further define shading.
4. Increase the amount of :white in the original base colour mix, then highlight. You might want to do this in a couple of passes, upping the amount of White further, and highlighting more selectively.
5. Finish with a few small White highlights.

Bone

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Rakarth Flesh and Wraithbone .
2. Shade with 1:1 Dryad Bark and Baneblade Brown . To make it more manageable, I like to thin the paint heavily with Contrast Medium and apply with a long thin brush.
3. Further define recesses with a more selective shade of Dryad Bark . I pretty much just use this stage to separate different bones, ribs etc.
4. Glaze highlights over all exposed areas with Ushabti Bone , to add some warmth.
5. Highlight with Wraithbone .
6. Finish with selective White highlights.

Black Cloth

1. Basecoat with Black .
2. Glaze everything but the recesses with 1:1 Black and Naggaroth Night .
3. Mix the above colour 1:1 with Eshin Grey and highlight.
4. Apply fine edge highlights of Stormvermin Fur .
5. Highlight more selectively with 1:1 Stormvermin Fur and Administratum Grey .
6. Add small highlights of Administratum Grey on curves and corners.
7. Finish with a few specular highlights of 1:1 Administratum Grey and White .

Black leather

1. Basecoat with Black .
2. Highlight with Incubi Darkness .
3. Apply fine highlights with 1:1 Incubi Darkness and Deepkin Flesh .
4. Selectively highlight with Deepkin Flesh .
5. Finish with specular highlights of 1:1 Deepkin Flesh and White .

Dark Brown Leather

1. Basecoat the leather area with Rhinox Hide .
2. 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.
3. Add a chunky edge highlight of Skrag Brown to all edges.
4. 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 as scratches too.
5. 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.
6. Add a little pure white (like Dead White ) to your Ushabti Bone and add dot highlights to corners.

Steel

1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
2. Wash with Nuln Oil .
3. Highlight with Ironbreaker .
4. Finish with selective highlights of Silver RLM01 Metallic .
5. I used the same basic method for the axe of the greem armoured Chaos Warrior, but switched out the Gryph-charger Grey for some Agrax Earthshade . This was just to make the steel look dirtier.

Tarnished Gold

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Gold and Dryad Bark .
2. Shade with glazes of thin Gore-grunta Fur .
3. Enhance the shading of the previous stage with smaller amount sof 1:1 Rhinox Hide and Black . Keep these as thin lines in the deepest parts of recesses.
4. Increase the amount of Gold in th base mix and highlight.
5. Apply finer highlights of pure Gold .
6. Mix the Gold with some Silver RLM01 Metallic and selectively highlight.
7. Finsih with small highlights of pure Silver RLM01 Metallic .
