  1. Prime with Grey Seer and zenithal with White Scar . Drybrush further with White Scar , or highlight if you want to apply extra effort.
  2. For the skin, start with Skeleton Horde on the feet, hands, belly, and face, blending with Gutrippa Flesh everywhere else. Go limb by limb, letting the paints wet blend.
  3. Shade the recesses on the skin with 2:1 Contrast Medium and Creed Camo .
  4. Drybrush skin with Ice Yellow .
  5. To increase saturation of the skin, cover the green areas with a thin layer of Contrast Medium slightly tinted with Mantis Warriors Green .
  6. Apply selective dot highlights of Ice Yellow on the raised features of the face and shoulders. Paint the limb quills and nails too.
  7. For cloth, use Gryph-hound Orange , Basilicanum Grey , Nazdreg Yellow , and Skeleton Horde for rope and stitching. If you edge highlighted the cloth with white this will really make a difference.
  8. For wood, use Gore-grunta Fur . Let it pool on one side of the shoulder pad to get a nice gradient. Highlight with LugganathOrange: with a dab of Gore-grunta Fur .
  9. For the non-metallic metal, base with Space Wolves Grey . Use 4:1 Contrast Medium and Leviadon Blue to apply dark gradients and recess shading. Edge highlight with White Scar .

    While you have the white out, use it to dot the eyes.
  10. For the quills, basecoat in Corvus Black . Paint the quills with Lugganath Orange then Ice Yellow , leaving black in the recesses. Re-establish the recesses if you need to.
  11. Paint the inside of the mouth with Fyreslayer Flesh , then again (avoiding the tounge) with Volupus Pink .

    Use this technique on any meat hunks too.
