Step 2

Give the model a solid coat of Warpaints Fanatic Midnight Olive. This was done with an airbrush on this model, as that tool will be used in the next several steps. Be sure to always thin your Warpaints Fanatic paints with Air Medium when using them through an airbrush.

Step 3

Using an airbrush, spray the model from above with Warpaints Fanatic Tainted Garden thinned with Air Medium. Be sure to pick out the areas where light would catch. If you do not have an airbrush, you can achieve similar results with some controlled drybrushing, wet blending, or stippling, which our Masterclass Drybrushes would all be perfect for!

Step 4

Next, spray the model from below with a mix of Speedpaint Turnbull Turquoise and Air Medium where shadows would naturally be on the model. If you do not have an airbrush you can achieve similar results by applying several thin glazes.

Step 5

Using a normal brush, such as a Wargamer: Character Brush or Regiment Brush, apply Warpaints Fanatic Wash Voodoo Shade directly into the recesses between armour panels, as well as any dents, dings, or other areas that need shading.

Step 6

Next, apply weathering using a bit of torn-up sponge and Warpaints Fanatic Banshee Brown. Use this sparingly, as you can always go back and add more if needed. At the same time, pick out some of the edges and add some scratches using a brush and the same colour.

Step 7

Follow this with your first highlight of Warpaints Fanatic Tainted Garden, picking out all of the edges, and under any prominent bits of weathering that you want to draw more attention to.

Step 8

Paint a more refined highlight of Warpaints Fanatic Tainted Garden with a bit of Warpaints Fanatic Ivory White mixed in.

Step 9

Finally, mix even more Warpaints Fanatic Ivory White into your mix from the previous step to apply a final highlight to only the most prominent areas, such as corners.

Step 2

Shade the shield freehand by mixing in some Warpaints Fanatic Blanched Berry into your Warpaints Fanatic Fiery Vermillion. Progressively mix in more Blanched Berry towards the bottom.

Step 3

Paint the arrow symbol inside of this shield with Warpaints Fanatic Moonbeam Yellow. You can also add other symbols to your model at this time, such as the small yellow cross painted on the corner of the other shoulder pad.

Step 4

Add weathering and chipping to these symbols with either Warpaints Fanatic Midnight Olive or Warpaints Fanatic Tainted Garden where appropriate. A mix of a sponge and a brush was used for this step. At this point, the model was also sealed with Warpaints Air Matt Varnish to help further differentiate the armour from the upcoming metallic areas.

Step 2

Shade these areas with an all-over wash of Warpaints Fanatic Wash Grimdark Shadow. This was also used to darken the interior of the visor on the helmet at this point.

Step 3

Highlight the chainmail by lightly drybrushing it with Warpaints Fanatic Heavy Metal. Use the same colour and a bit of sponge to add some chipping to the gun and other large metallic areas, as well as a brush to add edge highlights.

Step 4

Paint Warpaints Fanatic Wash Voodoo Shades into some of the metallic areas for a greasy, industrial look. On this model this was applied to the generators on the back, around some of the moving parts on the gun, and near the tops of some of the chainmail.

Step 5

Finally, add rust streaks to the model with heavily watered down Warpaints Fanatic Ruddy Terra. This was applied sparingly to not overpower the rest of the colours.

Step 2

Next, apply heavily watered-down Warpaints Fanatic Effects Grim Rust to the whole base, as well as on his feet to add a bit more weathering and to tie the model into the base.
