How to paint the Lord of Virulence set
- Step 1: Prime the model
Apply a thin, even coat of Chaos Black Spray (or any primer of your choice) to the Lord of Virulence. This helps the paint adhere better and provides a good base for further layers. - Step 2: Basecoat the armor
Using a medium-sized brush, apply a basecoat of dark green, such as Death Guard Green, to the armor of the Lord of Virulence. Ensure even coverage and let the paint dry completely. - Step 3: Highlight the armor
Using a smaller brush, carefully apply a layer of lighter green, like Nurgling Green, to the raised areas of the armor. This technique, called highlighting, adds depth and definition to the model. - Step 4: Paint the details
Switch to a fine detail brush to paint the smaller features. Use a dark color, like Brass Scorpion, for the intricate details such as the face, weapon, and accessories. Paint carefully to avoid any mistakes. - Step 5: Apply washes
To enhance the depth and shading, apply a wash, like Nuln Oil, to the entire model. This will settle into the recesses, emphasizing the details and providing a more realistic appearance. - Step 6: Add final highlights
Using a small brush, carefully apply a final highlight of lighter green, such as Moot Green, to the edges and raised areas that were previously highlighted. This adds a finishing touch and brings out the sharpness of the model. - Step 7: Base and finishing touches
Paint the base with a layer of texture paint or apply sand and rocks using PVA glue for a realistic look. Once dry, you can paint the base to match your preferred style. Astrogranite is a good choice for this, and you can use it in future projects too.
