How the scheme reads on a model
Lay the foundation colour down over primer, slightly darker than the final tone.

Army Painter
Monument
Citadel (Warhammer Paints)
Sharpen only the sharpest edges for a crisp, finished look.
Vallejo

Army Painter
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
Bolters, blades and casings. Dark gunmetal, washed black, edged with bright steel.
Army Painter
★ Our pick for metal — weapons
Scale75
Straps, holsters and bare wood. Mid brown, shaded, then drybrushed a lighter tan.
★ Our pick for leather & pouches
Faces and hands. Basecoat, a flesh wash into the recesses, then build the highlights back up.
★ Our pick for skin & flesh
Lenses, eyes and energy. A bright spot colour that pops against the armour - dot it on and add a white glint.

Bright steel on the cutting edge and near-white at the tip, over dark shaded metal. The blades are the second signature and they stay cleaner than the armour - that contrast is the hook.
★ Our pick for blade edges
Citadel (Warhammer Paints)
No shop price tracked yet — the paint’s page has every seller we find.
Acid green glazed along a blade edge and left to pool, or run into a barb. Splinter crystals take purple into a lighter purple with a white dot. One or the other per model, not both.
Army Painter
★ Our pick for poison & splinter crystals
Straps, harness and coats in dark brown edged warmer, or black edged grey for the glossier look. It is the only thing on the model that is neither armour nor skin, so it does the separating.
★ Our pick for leather & bodyglove
