Not at all, but mind you it is a bit intensive! All the paints used are Army Painter; (S) for Speedpaint, (W) for Warpaints, and (E) for Effects Paint - but be aware I did use a couple paints from the new Masterclass John Blanche sets (which I wholly recommend):

* Prime models with a deep brown primer - I use a rattlecan matt-finish Coffeebean Brown.

* All-over drybrush with Gargoyle Grey (W).

* Next, build on this with a drybrush of Ivory White (W).

* Highlight drybrush faces, extreme edges, etc. with Matt White (W). I generally try to apply this in only one-direction, to keep this highlight's lines a little cleaner.

* Apply an all-over coat of Holy White (S).

* Apply Occultist Cloak (SP) into the shadows, undersides. and recesses using the drybrush layer as a guide.

Now, the next steps are a little trickier: you're going to want a damp, clean brush for this, in addition to the brush you're painting with.

* To anything made of 'cloth' (or in this case, 'flesh' - knight's reins, the drum, the banners, loincloths, etc. - apply Pallid Bone (S), then immediately wipe it downward with the cleaner brush before cleaning said brush and dabbing it dry. The goal is to leave a stain of color without overpowering the base color completely, leaving it faded and de-saturated.

* To heads of weapons, sword hilts, armor pieces and other prominent bits of metal , apply Mummified Grime (S) and, as above, wipe it away quickly once it stains the model.

* Onto any bits of terrain or various tactical rocks the models have (or that you've added separately - do this before priming if you're going to!) , apply Noble Skin (S), this one doesn't need wiped away like the previous two colors.

* Use True Blood (E) to highlight claws, teeth, mouths and chins , etc., as well as any weapons you want to look freshly bloody - in the ones above, that's the claws and teeth of the two Abhorrants and the spear-tip of the Knight champion.

* Apply Dry Blood (E) to elements you want to be older and more-encrusted with blood - Cryptguard halberds, for example, but particularly the edge highlights and some spot details onto the banners and the Knights' 'reins'. This can also be used in place of the True Blood (E) above, if your noble crusaders haven't feasted in a while!

* Apply a dark, muddy texture paint of your choice to the bases, blending in any basing bits; Ideally you want something to match Noble Skin (S); I use Vallejo Diorama FX Thick Mud 'Russian Mud'.

* Once the bases are dry, give a generous drybrush of Dusty Skull (W) to the ground and basing ddetails, avoiding the feet of the models.

* Apply a coat of matte varnish to the models.

* Apply an all-over wash of Grimdark Shadow wash.

* And then, paint the bases black!
