For the main body, I’d recommend using an air brush though all steps can be achieved with a heavy dry brush.
Airbrush the whole model Night Lords Blue, next mix Night Lords Blue 2:1 with Temple Guard Blue, air brush this at a 45 degree angle above the model, its very important to not come from under the model as this is how we create shadows with the airbrush. Next mix Night Lords Blue with temple guard blue 1:1 and repeat the previous step, this time at a lesser angle from above the model (roughly 30-35 degrees). once that is fully dry repeat again with pure Temple Guard Blue at a 25 degree angle. lastly once that’s fully dry a light dry brush with Baharroth Blue will tie the model together nicely.
Next base claws and feet and carapace with Naggaroth Night. for the highlight mix 2:1 Naggaroth Night and Temple Guard Blue and highlight edges of carapace and feet/claws.
To create that shiny carapace we mix 1:1 Scale75 – Inktense Blue with a Vallejo – Glaze Medium, (any glaze medium will do, for example, Lahmian Medium, contrast medium, green stuff world glaze etc) the inktensity range has a very strong gloss effect but this works great for the carapace. With this mix we are just going to paint on the whole carapace like you would with any standard wash. once this is fully dry we highlight again with our previous highlight mix (2:1 Naggaroth Night and Temple Guard Blue)
For the hive boils (this term seems appropriate) base with Averland Sunset, wash with Fuegan Orange, and highlight with Yriel Yellow.
Eyes, base Mephiston Red, highlight Evil Sunz Scarlet.
Bugs, base Rakarth Flesh, wash with Guilliman Flesh
Mouth tendrils, base Screamer Pink
Tusks, base Zandri Dust, wash in a downward motion with Agrax Earthshade, once dry, repeat this only covering the bottom 75%, and once dry repeat at 50% and then again at 25%. finally highlight with Screaming Skull.
Paint Time: 12-14hours
