A quick writeup of how I approach NMM for Imperial Black Armor (worn by Moff Gideon, Death Troopers, etc.).
- Prime model Black and work from dark to light.
- Armor plates start from Dark Grey and mix in Russ Grey (alternatively work up to Wolf Grey for more of a blue tone).
- Pick out your brightest highlights with Fenrisian Grey and Corax White .
- Shade panel lines with Nuln Oil .
- Optional bring back some shadows on the armor plates with careful application of Drakenhof Nightshade .
