TMM Blood Angels based on Vincey Vince's Tutorial

  1. Prime miniature with Matt Black spray

Red true metallic armour

  1. Airbrush Black Red over the majority of the miniature, from a zenithal angle to leave some black in the darkest recesses underneath the mini. Apply in two thin coats to build up the dark red colour.
  2. Airbrush Ruby Red over the previous step, again avoiding the darkest recesses. Apply in a few thin layers to build up the red colour to the metallic.
  3. To the previous mix, add a drop of Ruby Red , and airbrush onto the topmost upward facing planes of the mini. Focus on the shoulder pads, top of the backpack and helmet.
  4. Pin wash Ruby Red into the recesses of the armour plates, avoiding the larger, flatter planes.
  5. Edge highlight the sharpest edges of the armour with Ruby Red .

Dark black/blue elements

  1. Paint the dark blue/black elements with Blue Black 1-step speed paint. Hit the under armour, gun and elements that you wish to be silver metallic in later steps.
  2. Edge highlight the gun casing with Bright Ivory .

Dark silver metallics

  1. Paint the dark silver areas (such as the gun barrel and magazine, and chest emblem) with Obsidian Black .
  2. Shade the previous step with Obsidian Black .
  3. Edge highlight the previous areas with Obsidian Black .
