Recommended steps
1
Basecoat the main surfaces with Castellan Green, Abaddon Black, and Leadbelcher.
2
Apply Athonian Camoshade and Nuln Oil to the secondary details and support areas.
3
Use Elysian Green and Runefang Steel to sharpen highlights and final contrast.
4
Keep the strongest accent colours for the focal zones so the scheme stays readable across the army.

The grandes plaques se prêtent well aux effect of dommages of battle.
3
The héraldique distingue the Knights — Take your temps on these éléments.
