for the gold trim base Retributor Armour, wash Reikland FleshShade, layer avoiding recesses with Retributor Armour, lastly apply a very fine highlight with Scale Colour – Metal n’ Alchemy – White Alchemy.

Flesh: base the face and all the fleshy tubes with Bugmans Glow, pick out eyes with white scar and teeth with Screaming Skull. apply a wash of Nuln Oil to the teeth only. paint pupils of eyes with Abaddon Black. apply a wash of Reikland FleshShade to all flesh parts including the face. next layer Cadian Fleshtone avoiding the dark recesses. highlight with Kislev Flesh. finally create a 1:1 mix of water and Druchi Violet and paint over all fleshy pipes and the lower part of the face in particular the sunken cheeks, this really helps give the grim dark evil look we want on a chaos warrior.

Painting Guide – Blackstone Fortress: UR-025

Painter: Dultoriminis

Model(s): Main Blackstone Fortress original box.

Paint(s): Leadbelcher spray, Nuln Oil, Agrax Earthshade, Celestra Grey, Ulthuan Grey, White Scar, Drakenhof NightShade, Mephiston Red, Retributor Armour, Averland Sunset, Yriel Yellow, Rhinox hide, Mornfang brown, Skrag Brown

Method(s): Base coat all over with Leadbelcher, wash with Nuln Oil and then Agrax Earthshade once Nuln Oil is fully dry,

Armour plates: base with Celestra Grey, layer Ulthuan Grey, recess wash with Drakenhof NightShade, edge highlight with White Scar.

Lights: base Mephiston Red, add a few tiny dots of White Scar to mimic reflective shine. Or base Averland Sunset, layer Yriel Yellow leaving outermost edge and then add a dot of White Scar. (a mix of both is best)

OPTIONAL: Rust, For rust and grime pick out some small areas with Rhinox hide, less is more here as you can always add more later so start slow, I would also recommend going around any rivets first before doing drips. inside the Rhinox hide apply Mornfang brown, covering about 2/3rds of the Rhinox hide. next add a few dots of Skrag Brown just to give it the slight rust ‘setting in’ look. and finally a small amount of White Scar highlight under any rust or scratches, this will give it that 3D effect.

Paint Time: 4-6 hours

Notes: Although this model looks easy from the guide I cannot stress enough the importance of taking your time with the “white armour plating” the key thing here is multiple very thin coats of Celestra Grey and Ulthuan Grey. take your time and be ready for 4 or 5 coats. While it may seem tedious it will be well worth it for the smooth finish on the white. no body wants lumpy plates.
