Paints required:

Varus blue armour

- Kantor blue
- Abaddon black
- Teclis blue
- Ahriman blue
Before we start painting
the miniature, we locate
the light reflections on the
armour, by taking a
picture of it under our
desklamp. I have primed
the miniature in Chaos
Black as it has a great
shine to it, wich makes it
easier to locate the
different light reflections.
I have added a guide for
how to locate light
reflections in the post
description.
We start by basecoating the
armour with 3:1 mix of
kantor blue & abaddon
black.
We now glaze the frame of the light reflections
with pure kantor blue to the basecoat mix –
add 2-3 parts of water. I have added a video
tutorial for how to glaze a similar armour in
the post description.
We now add ¼ part of teclis blue
to the kantor blue, & glaze more
towards the middle of the light
reflections.
We now add ¼ part more of teclis
blue & glaze the middle of the light
reflections.
We now shade all the areas still
covered in the basecoat , by
adding 1 part more of abaddon
black to the basecoat mix – add 2-3
parts of water.
We now add a secondary light reflection on each
sides of the main light reflections (i have pointed
some of them out), by adding 1 part of ahriman blue
to the basecoat mix. We glaze them like we have
glazed the main light reflections.

We now glaze the middle of the
secondary light reflections, by
adding 1 part more of ahriman
blue to the previous mix.
We now edge highlight the armour with
a 3:1 mix of teclis blue & kantor blue. On
all the edges closest to the brightest light
reflections, we edge highlight with pure
teclis blue. Add 1-2 parts of water.
We now glaze the very middle
of the main light reflections,
with pure teclis blue. Now the
blue armour is done ☺ !
