For the Penal Legionnaire for my Inquisitorial Agents Kill Team, I wanted coloured that more suggested he was a prisoner out on release. I think he reads as a former ganger out on day release. He could even be used in Necromunda, to be honest.

Skin

1. Basecoat with 4:1 Cadian Fleshtone and Screamer Pink .
2. Mix the previous paint 1:1 with Cadian Fleshtone , cover everything but a small amount of the recesses and downward facing sections.
3. Highlight with pure Cadian Fleshtone
4. Apply fine highlights of Kislev Flesh .
5. Finish with small highlights of Pallid Wych Flesh .

For the stubble parts of the head, I like to over highlight it. Then glaze with 1:1 Cadian Fleshtone and Dawnstone .

Hair

I had primed my mini with Wraithbone , so was working from a very light colour at this point. Of you primes with a drastically different colour, I would recommend applying a basecoat of Wraithbone first.

1. Cover the purple section with Shyish Purple .
2. Over brush this section with Xereus Purple .
3. Mix the Xereus Purple
   1:1 with Wraithbone and highlight.
4. Cover the green section with Ork Flesh .
5. Highlight with Moot Green .
6. Mix the Moot Green
   1:1 with Wraithbone and selectively.
7. Add a few small highlights with pure Wraithbone to both colours, where needed.

Orange Cloth

1. Basecoat with 1:2 Jokaero Orange and Troll Slayer Orange .
2. Shade with thin Troll Slayer Orange and Word Bearers Red , mixed 1:1.
3. Deep shade with small amounts of Word Bearers Red .
4. Add fine highlights of 1:1 Troll Slayer Orange and Yriel Yellow .
5. Selectively highlight with 1:1 Yriel Yellow and Wraithbone .
6. Finish with small/specular highlights of Wraithbone .

White Cloth

1. Basecoat with 1:1 Celestra Grey and White .
2. Add a small amount of Dark Reaper to the above mix and apply some general shading.
3. Increase the amount of Dark Reaper for deep shading.
4. With a 1:2 mix of Celestra Grey and :VallejoModelColor/White add some highlights.
5. Finish with a few small highlights of White .

Black Leather

1. Basecoat with Abaddon Black .
2. Glaze chunky highlights of Stegadon Scale Green .
3. Add fine highlights of Thunderhawk Blue .
4. Selectively highlight with Fenrisian Grey .
5. Specular highlights of Fenrisian Grey , with a little White mixed in.

Dark Brown Leather

1. Basecoat the leather area with Rhinox Hide .
2. Glaze most of the leather with thinned Mournfang Brown . Use quite a small brush and drag towards edges in rough lines. This should create some extra texture.
3. Add a chunky edge highlight of Skrag Brown to all edges.
4. Highlight everything again, this time with a fine line of Skrag Brown and Ushabti Bone mixed 1:1. This is a good mix to throw in occasional fine lines as scratches too.
5. With pure Ushabti Bone , selectively highlight corners and exposed edges of the leather. Put a dot of this colour where the additional scratched above meet edges too.
6. Add a little pure white (like Dead White ) to your Ushabti Bone and add dot highlights to corners.

Blue Details

1. Basecoat with 1:1 : Kantor Blue and Abaddon Black .
2. Pick out all raised details with Kantor Blue .
3. Add increasing amounts of Ice Yellow into the Kantor Blue and highlight smaller and smaller.
4. Finish with specular highlights of pure Ice Yellow , where relevant.

Steel

1. Basecoat with Leadbelcher .
2. Wash with Nuln Oil .
3. If needed, enhance definition in recesses with a 1:1 mix of Abaddon Black and Rhinox Hide .
4. Add highlights with Ironbreaker .
5. Now selectively highlight with Vallejo Model Air Silver RLM01 Metallic .

Hazard Stripes

1. Basecoat with Averland Sunset .
2. Wash with Iyanden Yellow .
3. Carefully paint in the black stripes with Abaddon Black .
4. Highlight the top edges of the stripe with a line of Averland Sunset , again.
5. Where the previous highlight isn't noticeable, go over the area with a fine line of Averland Sunset and Screaming Skull mixed 1:1.
6. Finally add a small highlight of Screaming Skull within the last stage.
7. Highlight the black stripes in the same way. I used Eshin Grey , Dawnstone and Administratum Grey for this.

Gold

For the 'Aquilla', I basecoated with good old Retributor Armour . When it came to the symbol on the Inquisition, I mixed some Silver RLM01 Metallic into my Retributor Armour to make it paler. The shading and highlighting was the same though.

1. Shade with Gore-grunta Fur .
2. Enhance with Wyldwood if/where needed.
3. Now re-establish your basecoat where needed.
4. Steadily mix Silver RLM01 Metallic into your basecoat, highlighting smaller and smaller each time.
5. Finish with a specular highlight of Silver RLM01 Metallic .

Brass

1. Basecoat with Balthasar Gold .
2. Shade with Agrax Earthshade .
3. Highlight with Hashut Copper
4. Selectively highlight with a mix of Hashut Copper and Silver .
5. Finish with a specular highlight of Silver RLM01 Metallic .
