Ingredients

  • Prime with Corax White
  • Brush Corax White on to ensure you have a nice even basecoat over all of the armour.
  • Go over all of the recesses with a general recess shade of Fenrisian Grey. Thin the paint for all recess shading with water, down to a wash consistency.
  • Recess shade everything again with fine lines of Thunderhawk Blue.
  • Now take some Dark Reaper and shade only the deepest recesses.
  • Highlight all edges with a pure white, like White Scar or Vallejo Dead White. Keep the paint nice and thin.
  • On points and upward facing edges, do another fine edge highlight of pure white.
  • For the battle damage, I used small patches of dots with Dark Reaper and then a line of pure white dots of the underside.
  • Basecoat Red Power Armour with Mephiston Red.
  • Recess shade with a 1:1 mix of Mephiston Red and Khorne Red. Keep the paint thin and make this quite a general shade.
  • Add some Abaddon Black to the paints from the last stage and recess shade again, with fine lines of this darkened mix.
  • Glaze areas that need to be brighter with Evil Sunz Scarlet.
  • Now add a chunky edge highlight of Wild Rider Red.
  • Go over all of the edges again, this time with fine lines of Squig Orange.
  • Selectively highlight corners and points with a 1:1 mix of Squig Orange and Ice Yellow.
  • Add dots of pure Ice Yellow to points.
