Painting Shadow Blades

I cooked up a quick tutorial on painting a Shadow Blade rank and file bolter Marine. About half way through I realised tha it was meant to be a Devastator member and so the locations of the white areas changed... Anyway, here I go...

Step 1- 3

Undercoat with chaos black spray.

Paint blue sections of the armour Enchanted Blue

As messily as possible paint camo on blue sections with Regal Blue

Step 4

Paint the sections to become white with Codex Grey.

Step 5

With thin white paint coat the white areas in Skull White - to the below effect.

Step 6

Paint fine details - Red Gore in eyes, Scorched Brown satchels etc.

Step 7

Build up the red in the eyes with Blood Red and Blazing Orange before adding the Skull White.

Do the same with any purity seals.

Drubrush the satchels with Snakebite Leather.

Finally, paint squad symbol on right shoulder pad.

You have a finished Shadow Blade
