  1. Prime all using Wraithbone

Battle Cat

  1. Base fur with Warpstone Glow , and wash with Biel-Tan Green . You will then want to layer back up with Warpstone Glow
  2. Highlight with Moot Green , and extreme highlights with Gauss Blaster Green
  3. Base armour with Mephiston Red , and wash with Carroburg Crimson
  4. Edge highlight with Evil Sunz Scarlet and then extreme highlights with Wild Rider Red
  5. Draw in orange stripes on the fur with Jokaero Orange , then go over these with Troll Slayer Orange and highlight with Fire Dragon Bright
  6. Use Averland Sunset to draw in the eyes, adding Flash Gitz Yellow and White Scar if you want to add depth to them
  7. Paint his claws using Caliban Green
  8. As an optional step, dry brush the fur around his mouth and the tip of his tail using Sybarite Green . I also chose to do this for some of his underbelly

He-man

  1. Base the skin using Kislev Flesh , then once dry, go over that with Guilliman Flesh before highlighting it with Flayed One Flesh and Pallid Wych Flesh
  2. Base the hair with Averland Sunset then layer and highlight with Yriel Yellow Flash Gitz Yellow and Dorn Yellow
  3. Paint Battle Cat's strap, and He-Man's boots and furry loin cloth with Mournfang Brown before washing with Agrax Earthshade then highlight with Skrag Brown and Deathclaw Brown
  4. Paint He-man's armour with Mechanicus Standard Grey and highlight with either Dawnstone or Administratum Grey before picking out the bars and the cross with Mephiston Red
