1

Base coat

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

3

Layer

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

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.

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.

Sun-bleached wraps

Head-wraps and cloaks two or three shades paler than the ochre body - the storms fade everything out here.

Nomad turquoise

Beads, sashes and harness cloth in dusty teal - the one cool colour, and the reason the gang reads as a culture rather than a sandstorm.

Ash dust

Drybrush pale grey up from the base over boots, hems and the underside of every wing - it ties rider, mount and base together.
