  1. Basecoat whole model in Dungeon Stone Grey
  2. Basecoat the "Shirt" in Ashen Grey kinda quick n dirty.
  3. Basecoat the pants in Gyzmo Fur also quick blocking in.
  4. Ork Skin: Mix 50/50 Dark Sun Yellow and Goblinoid Green and base coat all skin parts
  5. Shade recesses and shadowed areas with Emerald Green followed by the deepest recesses with Hydra Green Both paints should be mixed with water to make them quite runny a bit like a wash.
  6. Use the same 50/50 of Dark Sun Yellow and Goblinoid Green thinned down quite a bit, to fix up areas that got to dark and build gradually some gradient
  7. Highlight raised areas with inky Septic Green
  8. Mix 50/50 Septic Green and Elven Skin and do some quite small highlights
  9. Finish off with pure Elven Skin but just really small areas and dots
  10. For the Armour base coat everything in Trooper White just to make sure we have a good base for the yellow that will come over it later
  11. Paint all the newly painted white areas with Skulker Yellow Thin coats and several of them are best. Usually 2-3 should do the trick
  12. Darken the yellow slightly with a wash that is further diluted to make it quite weak. Use a bit of Flesh Wash together with Spirit Medium. Apply all over the yellow parts. When its dry do a second run of the same mix focusing on areas that have creases and rivets or are naturally bend away from where light would get.
  13. Use a very inky (watered down) Boar Hide to carefully shade recesses and areas like the very lower ends of armour panels.
  14. Repeat the same with Cuirass Leather focussing only on the very deepest recesses.
  15. Return to Skulker Yellow to reapply to the more raised and flat areas
  16. Do some edge highlights with Yellow Flame also on the rivets and scratches
  17. Do a finer highlight using Craven Yellow
