★ Our pick for shade
Green Stuff World
Rebuild the main colour on the raised areas, leaving the shade in the cracks.
★ Our pick for layer
Foundry

Pick out the upper edges and surfaces that catch the light.
Sharpen only the sharpest edges for a crisp, finished look.
★ Our pick for edge highlight
Citadel (Warhammer Paints)
Monument
Everything else on the model - metals, skin, leather, lenses, basing and this faction's signature accents.
Trim and bare plate. Basecoat steel, wash dark, then edge bright silver.
★ Our pick for metal — trim
Scale75
Bolters, blades and casings. Dark gunmetal, washed black, edged with bright steel.
★ Our pick for metal — weapons
Scale75
Straps, holsters and bare wood. Mid brown, shaded, then drybrushed a lighter tan.
★ Our pick for leather & pouches
Vallejo
Faces and hands. Basecoat, a flesh wash into the recesses, then build the highlights back up.
Citadel (Warhammer Paints)
★ Our pick for skin & flesh
Vallejo

Lenses, eyes and energy. A bright spot colour that pops against the armour - dot it on and add a white glint.
★ Our pick for eyes & lenses
Green Stuff World
Groundwork. Earth basecoat, drybrushed bone, finished with your choice of grass, sand or snow.
Citadel (Warhammer Paints)

Green Stuff World
Y-straps, boots, bread bag and rifle sling in near-black brown. German kit is dark, and at tabletop distance it is what separates a feldgrau squad from a khaki one.
★ Our pick for webbing & leather
Green Stuff World
Foundry
No shop price tracked yet — the paint’s page has every seller we find.
Zeltbahn and smocks - blotches of ochre and dark brown over pale green, then a rain of fine brown ticks. Keep the shapes small; at 28mm a big blotch is just a stain.
★ Our pick for splinter camo
