How to paint the Primaris Crusader Squad
- Step 1: Armor
Begin by painting the armor of your Crusaders with Abaddon Black. Apply this paint evenly to create a solid, imposing appearance for your squad. - Step 2: Metallic Components
Turn your attention to the metallic parts, such as swords, chains, and other intricate details. Use Leadbelcher to bring out the metallic shine in these components. - Step 3: Red Details
Khorne Red is your choice for the vivid red details. Paint the shoulder pads of the Sword Brother, as well as the bolt pistols, chainsword details, and helmet lenses. This crimson hue adds a bold and striking accent to your squad. - Step 4: Parchments, Clothing, and Skull Details
Utilize Screaming Skull to paint parchments, clothing, and skull details. Pay close attention to detail in this step, as it enhances the visual impact of these elements. - Step 5: Exposed Heads
For the exposed heads of your Crusaders, select Kislev Flesh. This paint adds a lifelike flesh tone, giving your miniatures a realistic touch. - Step 6: Layering for Depth
Now, it’s time to add depth and dimension to your miniatures. Apply Nuln Oil to the black armor, Carroburg Crimson to the red details, and Agrax Earthshade to the metallic components. These washes settle into the recesses, emphasizing details and creating depth. - Step 7: Base with Texture Paints
To create a visually engaging base, choose from a selection of texture paints such as Astrogranite Debris, Stirland Mud, and Armageddon Dunes. Apply these paints to the base surface, replicating a textured and realistic terrain for your miniatures to stand on. - Step 8: Varnishing
Preserve your meticulous work by applying a protective coat of Ardcoat over the entire miniatures. This not only safeguards your paint job but also imparts a glossy finish. Ensure the varnish is fully dry before proudly deploying your Primaris Crusader Squad on the battlefield.
