1

Base coat

Lay the foundation colour down over primer, slightly darker than the final tone.

2

Shade

Wash the recesses to add depth and separate the details.

3

Layer

Rebuild the main colour on the raised areas, leaving the shade in the cracks.

4

Highlight

Pick out the upper edges and surfaces that catch the light.

5

Edge highlight

Sharpen only the sharpest edges for a crisp, finished look.

Details & accent colours

Everything else on the model - metals, skin, leather, lenses, basing and this faction's signature accents.

Metal — trim

Trim and bare plate. Basecoat steel, wash dark, then edge bright silver.

Metal — weapons

Bolters, blades and casings. Dark gunmetal, washed black, edged with bright steel.

Leather & pouches

Straps, holsters and bare wood. Mid brown, shaded, then drybrushed a lighter tan.

Skin & flesh

Faces and hands. Basecoat, a flesh wash into the recesses, then build the highlights back up.

Eyes & lenses

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

Basing — earth

Groundwork. Earth basecoat, drybrushed bone, finished with your choice of grass, sand or snow.

Gang tattoos & brands

Blue-black ink across the bare slabs of muscle - thin lines on the biggest flat panels only; anything busier vanishes at arm’s length.

Dark denim & straps

Trousers, harnesses and boots in grey-blue, so the burnt orange leather stays the gang colour instead of competing with them.

Chem-flush scarring

A dilute red wash into the muscle recesses and around the studs - Goliaths are grown too fast, and the skin shows it.
