How to paint the Mawloc set

1. Step 1: Carapace – Base Coat
   Using a medium-sized brush, paint the Mawloc’s carapace with Naggaroth Night. Apply a smooth and even coat, ensuring full coverage of the surface.
2. Step 2: Carapace – Shade
   With a fine-tipped brush, apply a wash of a dark purple shade, like Druchii Violet or a mix of Drakenhof Nightshade with a touch of Abaddon Black, to the carapace. This will create shadows and add depth to the model.
3. Step 3: Carapace – Layer
   Using a medium brush, add a layer of a lighter purple shade, such as Genestealer Purple or Xereus Purple, to the raised areas of the carapace. This layering will create highlights and make the carapace stand out.
4. Step 4: Carapace – Highlight
   For a final highlight, use a fine-tipped brush to add a small amount of White Scar to the edges and most prominent sections of the carapace. This will make the carapace look vibrant and visually striking.
5. Step 5: Flesh – Base Coat
   Switch to a clean brush and apply Rakarth Flesh to the exposed flesh areas of the Mawloc. Take your time and ensure a solid and consistent coverage.
6. Step 6: Flesh – Shade
   Using a fine-tipped brush, apply a wash of Carroburg Crimson to the flesh areas. This will add depth and give the flesh a realistic, organic look.
7. Step 7: Flesh – Layer
   With a medium brush, add a layer of Pallid Wych Flesh to the raised areas of the flesh, such as muscles and facial features. This layering will create highlights and bring out the details of the model.
8. Step 8: Flesh – Highlight
   Using a fine-tipped brush, carefully apply small dots or lines of White Scar to the highest points of the flesh, such as cheekbones and knuckles. This will add a touch of brilliance and create a more lifelike appearance.
9. Step 9: Spikes, Tail Spikes, and Mouth – Base Coat
   Now, focus on the Mawloc’s spikes and mouth. Use a medium-sized brush to paint these areas with Khorne Red. Make sure to cover them thoroughly.
10. Step 10: Spikes, Tail Spikes, and Mouth – Shade
    With a fine-tipped brush, apply a wash of Carroburg Crimson to the spikes and mouth. This will add depth and make them look menacing and vibrant.
11. Step 11: Spikes, Tail Spikes, and Mouth – Layer
    Using a fine-tipped brush, add a layer of Evil Sunz Scarlet to the raised areas of the spikes and mouth. This will create highlights and make these features pop.
12. Step 12: Final Touches
    Once you have completed the layering and shading for all the relevant parts, take a step back and assess your work. Check for any areas that may need touch-ups or additional details, ensuring the model looks cohesive and well-painted.
