Consider using browns, greys, or metallic colors like Leadbelcher or Balthasar Gold to give the models a rugged and weathered look. Apply the paint carefully, ensuring full coverage, and allow it to dry completely. - Step 3: Detail the Burnas

Apply the colors to the burna nozzles and any other areas that should be ablaze. Take your time and add small details to enhance the flames, such as highlights or black soot around the burners. - Step 4: Highlight the Details
Once the base coats are dry, use a lighter shade of the corresponding colors to highlight the details on the models. For example, use Skarsnik Green for the skin and Runefang Steel for the armor. Apply the highlights sparingly, focusing on the raised edges and surfaces to create depth and add visual interest to the models. - Step 5: Apply the Wash

To give the Burna Boyz a gritty and battle-worn look, consider adding weathering effects. Use a drybrushing technique with a darker shade of brown or black, like Rhinox Hide or Abaddon Black, to create scratches, dirt, and grime on the clothing and armor. Focus on areas that would naturally experience wear and tear, such as edges, joints, and surfaces exposed to the elements. - Step 7: Base the Models

You can also add additional elements like small rocks, grass tufts, or debris to enhance the overall look. - Step 8: Apply a Protective Varnish
To protect your paintwork and give the models a finished look, apply a protective varnish like Stormshield. Follow the instructions on the varnish can to apply a thin and even coat over the entire model. Allow the varnish to dry completely before handling or displaying the finished Burna Boyz.
