How to paint the Acolyte Hybrids set
- Step 1: Prime the Models
Begin by priming your Acolyte Hybrids with a spray-on primer in your preferred color. This step provides a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to and helps bring out the details of the miniatures. - Step 2: Base Coat the Skin
Begin by painting the exposed skin areas of the Acolyte Hybrids with Daemonette Hide. Apply thin and even layers to ensure a smooth and consistent base. - Step 3: Shade the Skin
Use Druchii Violet to add shading to the skin. Apply the shade carefully to the recessed areas and creases of the muscles, allowing it to settle naturally and create realistic shadows. - Step 4: Layer the Skin
Now, use Warpfiend Grey for layering the skin. Focus on the raised areas and contours, adding highlights to enhance the skin’s texture and depth. - Step 5: Base Coat the Clothing
Paint the clothing of the Acolyte Hybrids with your chosen color. For example, you can use Stegadon Scale Green for a blue-green look or Mephiston Red for a striking red attire. - Step 6: Shade the Clothing
Add depth to the clothing by applying a shade paint that complements the base color. Use Agrax Earthshade for brownish tones or Drakenhof Nightshade for bluish tones. - Step 7: Highlight the Clothing
Highlight the edges and raised areas of the clothing with a lighter version of the base color. For instance, if you used Stegadon Scale Green, highlight with Sotek Green. - Step 8: Paint the Weapons
Choose the appropriate color for the weapons. For a menacing look, use a black paint like Abaddon Black for blades or gun barrels. For metallic parts, use Leadbelcher or another metallic paint. - Step 9: Add Details
Use various colors like brown, orange, white, or metallic paints to add details to the miniatures. For example, you can use Balthasar Gold for belt buckles or Rhinox Hide for leather pouches.
