Tim painted the Lictor's body with Snot Green and then hit it with a Dark Green Ink wash. He highlighted the flesh areas with Goblin Green and then Sunburst Yellow. Tim highlighted the armor plates with Skull White to differentiate them slightly from the fleshy areas.

For the leafy camouflage areas, Tim used Dark Angels Green, then Goblin Green, and highlighted with Skull White mixed with Camo Green. His goal was to mimic the jungle plants in both shape and coloration, so Tim added lighter colours to the leaf markings as he moved up on the model.

Tim painted the tail section with Warlock Purple and a Magenta Ink wash. Lastly, he painted the armoured plates with Regal Blue and highlighted them up to Ice Blue.

Tim painted the rocks (and rock markings on the Lictor) with Terracotta followed by a Chestnut Ink wash and a highlight with a mix of Terracotta and Skull White. Bone areas were painted with a Bleached Bone basecoat, with Scorched Brown at the base and Skull White on the tips. Also, Tim applied a Flesh Wash glaze to give the bone an older, yellowed appearance.

Final touches – Tim made a bit of slimy drool from fishing line glued into the corner of the mouth, which he thickened with small blobs of super glue. Once dry, he applied Yellow Ink to the drool and washed the feeder tendrils liberally with 'Ardcoat gloss varnish. This method is a very easy way to achieve a cool dripping-slime look for any model.
