Each model is split up into three stages, each with a list of colours and the corresponding paint that was used for it. Each stage uses a different technique to achieve a similar effect on each element but with different colours.
Bases: Before I began I painted all of the bases with Abaddon Black. This can take 1-2 coats over the undercoat.
NOTE: These models used an undercoat of Grey Seer
Stage 1 is basecoating. Base colours are applied using Citadel Contrast paints. This is applied in one even coat and provides a good, shaded basecoat.
Stage 2 is layering. This stage involves applying a layer of a lighter colour, generally focussed towards the top of the model. Layers, as the name would suggest, are applied with several light coats.
Stage 3 is for highlights. This stage involves adding definition using edge and line highlights to pick out the raised areas. This helps to define the features of the mini. If you find yourself unsure of where to apply the highlights or spot highlights, look over the images alongside the guide and compare that stage to the last.
