How to paint the XV25 Stealth Battlesuits set

  1. Step 1: Prime Your Miniatures
    Begin by applying a thin, even coat of Chaos Black Spray primer to your XV25 Stealth Battlesuits. This ensures better adhesion of the paint to the models.
  2. Step 2: Basecoat the Armor
    Using a medium-sized brush, paint the main armor sections with White Scar. Apply several thin coats to achieve a smooth and even coverage. This serves as the foundation for the armor’s color.
  3. Step 3: Adding Dark Sections
    Use a dark color like Abaddon Black to cover smaller sections such as joints, boots, and select armor details. This contrast adds depth to the overall appearance of the battlesuits.
  4. Step 4: Highlight with Light Grey
    Employ a lighter grey shade like Administratum Grey to carefully highlight the edges and raised areas of the white armor. This technique imparts a sense of three-dimensionality to the models.
  5. Step 5: Add Red Details
    Apply red details, such as symbols, buttons, or lens covers, using a red paint like Evil Sunz Scarlet. These vibrant accents bring visual interest to the battlesuits’ design.
  6. Step 6: Shading with Washes
    Enhance shadows and depth by applying a black wash like Nuln Oil to the recesses and crevices of the armor. This shading technique adds realism to the models.
  7. Step 7: Finer Details
    Use a fine brush to meticulously add intricate details, such as thin lines on the armor or insignias, using colors like Mechanicus Standard Grey. Patience and precision are key during this step.
  8. Step 8: Seal Your Work
    Protect your meticulous paint job by applying a layer of Munitorum Varnish matte varnish spray. This prevents chipping and provides a uniform finish across the models.
