Lenses, eyes and energy. A bright spot colour that pops against the armour - dot it on and add a white glint.

Vallejo
Ginger is the hold standard and the model’s second focal point - basecoat orange-brown, shade, then drybrush the braids so the plaiting shows.
★ Our pick for beard & hair
Heavy plate and shields in dark steel rather than gold, shaded blue-black - it stops the hold blue and the gold turning the unit into a toy.
Army Painter
★ Our pick for ironbreaker gunmetal
