Apply Mephiston Red and Agrax Earthshade to the secondary details and support areas.

Hints for this army

Keep the foundation colours dominant so the army still reads clearly at tabletop distance.
2
Use the last accent and highlight paints sparingly to sharpen the focal points instead of repainting every surface.
