Preparation
- Prepare the model with a zenithal highlight. Beginning with Black , working up to Cold Grey and White .
Base Coats
- Use a dark grey, such as German Grey or Uniform Grey , to paint the undersuit and boots.
- Paint the leather belts using Brown Leather and adding some variation/highlights with Saddle Brown .
- For the grey or silver areas, such as the "unpainted" beskar armor, holsters, weapons, and jetpacks, use a 2:1 mixture of Gryph-charger Grey to Basilicanum Grey as a basecoat. At this stage you should work quickly and absorb excess paint to prevent pooling.
- Alternatively, use a traditional NMM method, working your way from Deep Grey up to Company Grey .
Night Owls
- Use a 1:1 mixture of Cantabric Blue and Violet to basecoat the colored armor plates.
- Paint the visor Black .
- For the pops of white, such as on Bo-Katan's helmet, use Nacar .
- Highlight the blue armor by gradually mixing in Caribbean Blue and White Sands to the previously used blue mixture.
Shadow Collective
- For any darker armor plates, such as Gar Saxon's armor, add a second layer of the contrast grey mixture.
- Paint the weapons with Black Templar .
- Paint the red armor using Burnt Red , Blood Red , and Antares Red .
- Paint any armor markings with freehand Graphene Gray .
- Paint the visors and glowing bits White Scar and then apply Yellow Fluorescent .
Highlights
- Use a pale grey such as Pale Grey Blue for armor chipping.
- Highlight the undersuit with Uniform Grey .
- Highlight the leathers with Iroko .
Smoke Plumes
- Give a rough coat of White all over, be sure to have a full opaque coat towards the top.
- Use a pale yellow such as Ice Yellow or Pale Yellow to glaze color towards the top of the plume.
- Use Orange/Red Fluorescent paint towards the bottom of the plume.
- Gradually mix both paints to create a gradient from top to bottom.
- Drybrush Graphene Gray all over the bottom of the smoke plume.
- Work up to Graphite , using a drybrush but then coloring some select areas for highlights.
