METAL

  1. iron bits get Leadbelcher

  5. go back over and lightly drybrush back over with the original metallic
  6. edge highlight lead with Stormhost Silver and brass/gold with Retributor Armour

LEATHER

  1. base Rhinox Hide

WOOD

  1. basecoat Wraithbone
  2. Wyldwood over it but take some of it off your brush and do a controlled pass over
  3. edge highlight Wyldwood

GLOW

  1. base white over the glowing object fully then do a light white drybrush on the nearest edges
  2. go over with Pylar Glacier . ideally you let it pool up in the cracks and only do a glaze of it over the coils themselves and the surrounding white drybrush
  3. build brightness up on the coils with a mix of Baharroth Blue and white, starting with pure baharroth
  4. do a light glaze of Pylar Glacier over any spots that might still reflect a little bit of subtle light

MISC

  1. for models that have red metallics like the sicarians ill do mephiston then some weathering with very very light sponge stippling of Rhinox Hide and Leadbelcher . then i wash with Nuln Oil , drybrush over the spots that need it with Mephiston Red then edge highlight with Stormhost Silver . this helps the metallic reds read differently from the cloth reds as it's a little darker and has some metallic elements to it
  2. paper is Wraithbone base then a wash with 50/50 thinned Agrax Earthshade
  3. base buttons and screens with white then use either Flesh Tearers Red or Pylar Glacier or Tesseract Glow
  4. cables are Black Templar
