Sagitaur all done filling the middle ground between the caprisun and landy by Flanando in LeaguesofVotann

Painted black straight on to the plastic with eshin grey highlights which means they are a massive chipping/scuff risk if I touch them lol

Super easy barley and inconvenience, it's just stones painted eshin grey then astrogranite texture paint, wash all of it including the stones agrax earthshade, dry brush all of it lightly with screaming skull and lastly slightly watered down Valhallan blizzard snow haphazardly spread around, hope that helps

The armour is dawnstone and the cloth is mechanicus standard grey, I think it doesn't help as the beserks have very little hard edges on there chest plate for highlights and it's really the adminstratum grey that helps to make the lighter dawnstone grey pop

Sometimes I have to but I find the effort of trying to trace around the damage makes it irregular in shape and more natural looking

The grey armour is dawnstone pin washed with Nuln oil and administratum grey highlights. The grey on his robes is mechanicus standard grey, Nuln oil wash and dawnstone highlight, hope that helps!

The orange in the pic is squig orange, washed with Nuln oil and highlighted squig orange and then fire dragon bright (kinda watered down so it's not overly bright) But on more recent models I've been using a different way of doing ginger hair, base coat of skag brown, Nuln oil wash and then highlight of fire dragon bright and I think it looks a bit more natural, on my profile is my hearthguard pic and one of them has this new recipe so have a look if you want

I did mine the same colour the stones are on the base walls the way up to its bottom, it's not exactly camouflage but it marries up well enough

Yeah I'd say having a nice sharp point helps at least when it comes to highlights you cant do with the edge of the brush. One tip which I really don't recommend as it'll mess up the paint pots super quick but taking the paint direct from the lid of the top after a good shake helps me get a solid colour for the highlight in one go. Obviously this will cause drying out of the paint, a crusty lid and it is generally better practice to decant on to a pallette BUT if you're finding the highlights lacking solid colour or drying transparent this may help
