This tutorial assumes you have a good understanding of how to paint. It involves paints from a lot of TUTORIAL: HOW TO
different brands, as well as mixing paints. Underneath each picture are the corresponding instructions. PAINT 40K RUINED

give you suitable alternatives [in brackets].

heavily drybrushed with Longbeard Grey. Finally I've applied a generous wash of a 1:1 Warpaints Dark and
Strong Tone Ink [Nuln Oil and Agrax Earthshade].
2. Once the wash has dried, I've basecoated with white emblems with Reaper Master Series Polished Bone
(don't wonder, it's relabeled by German brand Pegasus) [Pallid Wych Flesh works perfectly as a Element Games offer up to 25% off GW products

13. I've washed the recesses of the gold with VGC Brown Ink [a mix of Agrax Earthshade and Reikland
Fleshshade might work, though the Brown Ink has much stronger pigments]. Then I've cleaned up by
layering VGC Glorious Gold.
14. I've nished the gold by highlighting with Warpaints Shining Silver [Runefang Silver].
15. In this step, I've basecoated the gems and ropes with Screamer Pink.
16. Now I've washed the ropes with Warpaints Dark Tone Ink [Nuln Oil]. For the gems, I've mixed a little bit
of black into Screamer Pink and applied the mix in the upper left corners.
ULTERIORI INFORMAZIONI OK
17. Then I've layered old Warlock Purple on the ropes, while highlighting the lower right corners of the
gems with this paint as well [mix Screamer Pink with Emperor's Children or get VGC Warlord Purple].
18. Now I've highlighted with ropes and the gems with Emperor's Children.
19. Finally I've added highlights of VGC Squid Pink and Formula P3 Carnal Pink [mix Emperor's Children
with successive amounts of white], while concentrating more and more to the lower right corner with each
step. I also added a small dot of Carnal Pink to the upper left corner.
20. Now I started working on the face. I've applied two dots of Warpaints Matt White [White Scar] to the
corners of the eyea, then cleaned up the eye sockets with Abaddon Black. You can also paint the eyes white
and then add a black line for the pupil if you prefer. I like to paint the eyes rst, as this allows me to try as
many times until I'm happy, without ruining the paint job of the esh.
21. I've basecoated the esh with old Tanned Flesh [mix Ratskin Flesh with Tuskgor Fur or get VGC Tan].
I've left a thin line of black around the eyes for more de nition.
22. Now I've layered old Dwarf Flesh [Bestigor Flesh, though it might be slightly lighter] while leaving the
Tanned Flesh showing in the recesses. Take care to apply multiple thin coats for a smooth result.
23. A rst highlight was applied by mixing Dwarf Flesh with old Elf Flesh [Ungor Flesh].
24. Finally I've highlighted with pure Elf Flesh [Ungor Flesh]. By the way, check out this old tutorial of mine
to learn more about painting faces, too.
25. I've basecoated the blonde hair with Averland Sunset.

26. Warpaints Soft Tone Ink [Seraphim Sepia] was washed into the recesses. Then I've cleaned up the hair
with Averland Sunset again.
27. The rst highlight for the hair was P3 Menoth White Base [Ushabti Bone].
28. A nal highlight of P3 Menoth White Highlight was applied [mix Screaming Skull with white or get VGC
Off White).
29. All metallic areas not yet painted were basecoated with Boltgun Metal [Leadbelcher].
30. The leather strap was painted with old Scorched Brown [Rhinox Hide].
31. I've washed the metallic areas with Warpaints Dark Tone Ink [Nuln Oil]. I've also applied some wash
where the leather meets the metal.
32. Now I've highlighted the metal areas with Warpaints Plate Mail Metal [Ironbreaker]. Don't forget to
highlight the metallics from step 3 as well.
33. The leather was highlighted with old Bestial Brown [Mournfang Brown works as well, though it's a bit
darker].
34. Now over to the white emblems. I've applied P3 Hammerfall Khaki [Karak Stone] in the recesses.
35. Then I've cleaned up the white areas by layering RMS Polished Bone [Pallid Wych Flesh].
36. A mix of Polished Bone and Warpaints Matt White [White Scar] was applied as a highlight. I skipped this
step for smaller emblems.
37. A nal highlight of pure Matt White was applied to the emblems.
38. The trim of the base was painted with Steel Legion Drab. Finally I've added some small patches of my
custom blend of light brown, dark brown and black static grass, which I've picked up separately from
various ebay sellers.
Hope you like the result :) Please tell me in the comments.

nice tutorial, the end result is fantastic. I'm not sure how you guys do it but they never look
"painted", just extremely realistic and lifelike. when I paint it just looks like a toy soldier with
paint on it! great stuff and great blog

That is a great set of pictures, I especially like the addition of the paint next to each step, not
only a great reminder as you go, but very visual for us readers. That is an impressively old pot of
Bronzed Flesh, at it still has usable paint?
Great work as always Stahly

Very nice tutorial, thanks for taking the time to make it. Also, I *love* your gem technique. I've
neve seen a blood drop painted with a thin edge-type highlight quite like that before. I'll have to
try that out.
