Marneus Calgar

1. Thin Ultramarines Blue with a 1:1 mix of water, then carefully apply it to the recesses between armour panels and ornate detailing.

2. Clean up any stray Ultramarines Blue on flat panels.

3. Thin Calgar Blue with water, twist bristles on a palette to get a nice sharp point, then run the brush tip along each edge, applying a slightly chunky highlight.

4. Refine chunky highlights by applying Fenrisian Grey between the previous highlights with a sharp-tipped brush, gliding it gently over sharp edges.

5. Neaten up any stray Fenrisian Grey if needed.

Paint the hanging straps on the waist, scabbards, and rope across the chest, applying a couple of layers for a nice, solid color.

1. Add Celestra Grey to the Ultramarines symbols and the Crux Terminatus on the leg and shoulder pad.

2. Paint the purity seals.

3. Apply a couple of layers to paint any parchment.

4. Apply several thin layers to paint the marble tactical rock.

1. Paint gun casings in one solid coat straight from the pot.

2. Block out any of the exposed undersuit between the joints.

3. Add a little bit onto the handle of his sword.

4. Add to a few pipes that connect to his guns.

Paint the back of the cloak, being mindful around the edges to leave the sides Wraithbone. Place the tip of the brush slightly off the edges as you run down the cape to get a nice clean, crisp line.

Paint the gun metal on the arms, the magazine barrels attached to the cape, and any chains and vents around the model.

1. Paint all the trim and golden details.

2. Add to the bullet casings littered across the base.

1. Load Reikland Fleshshade onto a brush, removing any excess onto a palette to control how much goes onto the model, then carefully apply this to all of the golden and dark red detailing, like the rope and leathers, making sure to keep this off the blue armour as much as possible.

2. Apply Reikland Fleshshade to the back of the cape, specifically across the sides of each fold, allowing the paint to settle into deeper areas.

3. Add a drop of water to an equal part of Reikland Fleshshade, then fully paint the tactical rock.

1. Mix a 1:1 ratio of Skeleton Horde and water to lighten the color, then tint all the parchments in one full coat.

2. Add shading to the inside of the cape by aiming for the recesses near the top where the cape is hanging from.

1. Mix a 1:1 ratio of Basilicanum Grey and water for a lighter touch, then apply to gun metals and silver details.

2. Apply the Basilicanum Grey mix to the Crux Terminatus decorations across the Terminator armour.

3. Apply the Basilicanum Grey mix to the base, adding a bit more grit and grime to the tactical rock.

Focus on highlighting the golden trim and ornate detailing across Calgar, using the length of the brush to gently guide it over the surfaces to uplift the shine with this lighter color.

1. Pick out all the silver metallics, edge highlighting areas such as the chains and gun barrels.

2. Drybrush larger areas, like the ammunition belt that feeds into the Gauntlets of Ultramar.

3. Add a final highlight on any of the gold, framing it with a glittering silver that will really make it shimmer.

1. Mix one part Kislev Flesh with three parts Lahmian Medium, remove excess off the brush, then begin gently applying the super-thin paint over the face. Pulling the paint slowly helps to achieve a smooth coat, and it'll dry pretty quickly, letting you add a second layer to strengthen the color.

2. Make the same mix with Word Bearers Red, which you'll use to add some extra warmth over the paler tone. This wants to be pulled towards the back of the head, up towards the cheekbones, and any other recesses around the face, letting the paint settle more towards these areas while keeping the raised areas lighter.

1. Start with a basecoat of Celestra Grey for his white hair, carefully outlining his face.

4. Block out his cybernetic eye.

5. Paint his earrings.

6. Paint the undersuit.

3. Outline the other eye and provide a dark base.

4. Place a small dot of Mephiston Red on the inside of the circle.

5. Add a reflective highlight line of Fire Dragon Bright along the bottom to make it pop.
