I had decided that I was use the Craftworld Ulthwé colour scheme which is a bold contrast of Dark black, Grey, Red and Bleached bone. Blow I will list then steps I undertook in order to fully paint my Guardians.
1. First paint the whole model with a thin layers of Chaos black this will act as an undercoat and will help the other paints set on the model.
2. Secondly dip your brush in some Fortress Grey and then dry it off with some tissue paper so that there is only a very small amount of paint on the brush and this will allow us to use a drybrushing effect on the armour.
3. Drybrush the armour with Fortress Grey by lightly running your brush over the edges of the armour.
4. Now paint the helm and the shuriken catapult of the warrior with bleached bone.
5. Now check to make sure that the areas we painted with bleached bone have dried if so saturated your brush in ogryn flesh wash and paint over the bleached bone this will seep into the crevices on these area's giving a shadow effect.
6. Now to add some finshing touches firstly the eyes use a very small brush to paint the eyes red, after the red has dried very carefully add a small white dot to the inner eye in order to give a reflection effect.
7. Gemstones: Now the model is almost finished however there are very many gemstones all over the armour when painted properly these stones can make any model look stunning. We will start by paintign each stone Chaos Black, Then we will paint 3/4 of the stone Red Gore leaving the top left corner chaos black, we will now paint the 1/2 of the red gore with blood red leaving us with 1/4 chaos black, 1/4 Red Gore and 1/2 Blood red and now we will finish this by painting 1/2 of the blood red with blazing orange and finally by very carefully making a small white dot in the Chaos Black area to create an effect of light reflection.
