Arjac Rockfist

Undercoat Arjac with Mechanicus Standard Grey Spray.

1. Basecoat all of the armour with two coats of Russ Grey for good coverage, avoiding repeated painting while wet.

2. Thin Rhinox Hide with Lahmian Medium to a 1:3 ratio and use it to recess shade all of the power armour, ensuring nice and neat lines to define the details. Tidy up any mistakes with Russ Grey.

3. Pick out all of the heavy battle damage with Eshin Grey, representing the dark grey ceramite underneath where paintwork has been blasted off.

4. Edge highlight the armour with Fenrisian Grey, painting towards yourself and using the side of the brush where possible for control.

5. Dot highlight any points where two edges meet with Blue Horror, and add small scratches to enhance the battle-damaged look.

1. Pick out all of the black details, including the right shoulder, webbing between the power armour, inner shield, and rivets, using Abaddon Black.

2. Highlight the black details with Eshin Grey as a muted first highlight.

3. Apply a second highlight of Dawnstone to the black details to make them pop more, as no shading was applied in the recesses.

1. Basecoat the wolf symbol on Arjac's right shoulder pad with Grey Seer, aiming for neatness.

2. Thin Russ Grey with Lahmian Medium to a 1:4 ratio and wash it all over the wolf symbol.

3. Edge highlight the wolf symbol with White Scar to make it stand out.

1. Use Eshin Grey to pick out the Crux Terminatus, tabard, and the rock Arjac is standing on.

2. Thin Abaddon Black with Lahmian Medium to a 1:4 ratio and wash it all over the rock and into the recesses of the Crux Terminatus. Apply to the deepest folds of the tabard and around equipment details.

3. Drybrush highlight the Crux Terminatus and the rock with Dawnstone for a textured look, then edge highlight the tabard.

4. Apply Administratum Grey as a final highlight for all grey details, dot highlighting the highest points of the Crux Terminatus and lightly drybrushing the rock edges.

1. Basecoat all runes, leather details (belt, straps, necklace, weapon grip), and fang/bone details with Grey Seer.

2. Apply a coat of Gryph-Charger Grey over the runes.

3. Apply Wyldwood all over the leather details to basecoat them quickly.

4. Highlight the leather with Zamesi Desert using a stippling technique for texture, keeping lines and dots small.

5. Apply Skeleton Horde to the fangs and bones, optionally adding a second layer towards the bottom for more depth.

6. Highlight the fangs and bones with Wraithbone, focusing on the raised details.

1. Basecoat all gold areas, including the shield trim, necklace, iron halo, chest rune, hammer rune, belt buckle, and hammer trim, with Runelord Brass.

2. Recess shade the gold areas with Wyldwood, carefully applying it into all recesses. If mistakes occur, tidy up with Runelord Brass.

3. Edge highlight the gold with Canoptek Alloy, keeping lines thin and sharp. Maneuver the model to paint towards yourself for better control.

4. Basecoat the silver metallic working metals (necklace, hammer, tools, anvil) with Iron Warriors. Apply two layers, letting each dry completely.

5. Basecoat the hammer head with two layers of Runefang Steel, allowing each layer to dry.

6. Recess shade all silver details with Abaddon Black thinned to a 1:4 ratio with Lahmian Medium.

7. Edge highlight all working metals and the hammer head with Stormhost Silver. Also pick out the black rivets all over the armour.

8. Basecoat all jewels (in runes and around the wrist) and the small lights on the hammer and wrist with Khorne Red.

1. Thin Khorne Red with Lahmian Medium to a 1:3 ratio and apply it liberally over the runes on the wrist, shield, hammer, stone runes, and the anvil on the iron halo, ensuring the base Khorne Red shows at the edges.

2. Thin Mephiston Red with Lahmian Medium to a 1:3 ratio and apply it within the Khorne Red stage, leaving the Khorne Red showing towards the edges. Also wash this mix over the lights on the wrist and hammer.

3. Thin Phalanx Yellow with Lahmian Medium to a 1:3 ratio and apply it towards the center of each rune as a final touch, making sure it looks like it's burning from within. Wash the same mix over the lights on the wrist and hammer for a glowy effect, without worrying about precision.

1. Basecoat the face with a few thin layers of Kislev Flesh, allowing each layer to dry completely to avoid texturing.

2. Apply Darkoath Flesh into the recesses of the face to add definition. Tidy up any overspill with Kislev Flesh.

3. Pick out the eyes with Abaddon Black and then cover his beard.

4. Highlight the beard with Eshin Grey, painting towards the end of the beard and picking out individual sculpted hairs, leaving Abaddon Black in the recesses.

5. Add Dawnstone towards the very end of the beard, being neat and careful.

6. Pick out the whites of the eyes with White Scar by adding a dot to each side of the eye using the tip of the brush with light pressure.

1. Use Stirland Mud and a texture tool to apply it all over the base, using the smaller end to push it around details. Let it dry for about an hour.

2. Wash the dried Stirland Mud with Abaddon Black thinned to a 1:4 ratio with Lahmian Medium.

3. Drybrush highlight the Stirland Mud with Zamesi Desert, using gentle brush strokes to avoid streaks.

4. Apply Valhallan Blizzard to the base, using the texture tool to spread it, focusing on areas where snow would settle or gather. Add some to the model as well to tie it in with the base, using an older brush and exercising restraint.

5. Paint the rim of the base with Abaddon Black to match the rest of your army.
