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.

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.

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.

Knightly heraldry

Quartered shields, barding and pennants in yellow, red and white. Mask the divisions or rule them with a fine brush - this is heraldry at the gallop, and a wobbly line shows from a metre away.

Peasant homespun

Men-at-arms and bowmen in undyed brown and grey. The gulf between them and the knights is the army; do not let the peasants get bright.
