Painting Recipe
Grey: Black Undercoat, 3-4 layers of thin Codex Grey for
a nice smooth basecoat. This is highlighted with 4 or 5 layers of
Codex Grey/Fortress Grey. I think I started with 6/1 CG/FG then
3/3, then I started making the slide a little subtler, so probably
2/4, 1/5 and finally straight Fortress Grey for the final highlight.
Looking at the mini I think some of those are too subtle as I have
to squint at the real thing to see them (and they're invisible on
the photo), still that's subtlety for you...
Blue: Black Undercoat, 2-3 layers of Regal Bluebasecoat
highlighted with a mix of RB/Enchanted Blue in much the same proprotions
as the grey...
Gold: Black Undercoat, Dark Flesh, followed by Brazen Brass
highligth then, 50/50 BB/Shining Gold and finally a SG highlight.
