  1. Prime with Grey Seer with a zenithal highlight of White Scar
  2. Basecoat the skin with Archaic Sepia Wash directly over the prime. Tongues are filled in now with Sword Hilt Burgundy .
    Add Hellion Red Wash to shade the faces further, along with the vents in the limbs.
    The arms and feet get a purple tone by feathering Magos Purple back into the Sepia, and this is also applied to all tentacles and exposed brain.
  3. The rocks on the base get a basecoat with Black Templar , with the rims completed using Black Legion
    The metal on the bases starts from Garaghak's Sewer , as do any and all metal components on the models themselves
  4. Gun casings, weapon casings, and the Enforcers' armour receive a basecoat of Death Reaper . In the case of Brood Brother Units, the armour starts from Eidolon Grey .
  5. Horns and claws are basecoated with a 50/50 mix of Black Templar and Flesh Tearers Red Any bones and teeth receive a coat of Vampire Fang
  6. Any leather details such as belts and boots start with a coat of Gore-grunta Fur
  7. Prison Uniforms start with a coat of Gryph-hound Orange . Any other fabric starts from Wizard Grey
  8. The brass portions of the metal start with Battle Axe Brass over the brown basecoat, with the silver details receiving a mix of 33/33/33 Cuirass Leather , Doom Death Black and Aluminum
  9. At this point, all non-organic portions of each miniature are shaded with Oblivion Black Wash
  10. Casings are then highlighted with The Fang . The brass is highlighted with Glistening Gold . Where necessary, our metal mix is used to bring the silver back up. The rocks are drybrushed with Wizard Grey . Brood Brother armour panels are highlighted with Rodent Grey Any tanks and wires can be filled in with Flesh Tearers Red The tongues are picked out with Glistening Gums .
  11. Prison uniforms are highlighted with Troll Slayer Orange , while the grey fabric is highlighted first with a 50/50 mix of Wizard Grey and Carcharodon Grey , followed by a smaller highlight of Carcharodon Grey . On thinner sections such as the strips on the Metamorphs, we can skip the 50/50 mix.
  12. The skin is highlighted with Ivory Tusk , while the horns and claws receive highlights of Mephiston Red . Any bones are brought back up with Vampire Fang , while the Ivory Tusk is also applied sparingly to the teeth. If there are any highlights required on tanks or wires, Mephiston Red can also be used here.
  13. Where needed, the Armour plates and casings are extreme highlighted with Fenrisian Grey , and the Brood Brothers armour panels with Carcharodon Grey
  14. AK Interactive Wet Ground and AK Moss are applied to the bases, followed by a spray of Munitorum Varnish .
    After the varnish, the water is filled in with AK Interactive Puddles.
