Step Three:

Drybrush all of the metal bitz with Chainmail. It's ok to be a bit sloppy at this stage as you can go back and touch up your model with Chaos Black paint later on.

Pro Tip: Drybrushing large numbers of models can be tiring on your hands if you aren't seated comfortably. Make sure that you are in a comfy position and have your rag or paper towel for wiping off your brush close at hand.

Step Four:

The blue trim stage! One nice coat of Enchanted Blue paint around the surcoat. The neater you are with this stage, the less work you'll have touching up later..

Note: You can substitute any colour you'd like at this stage for the surcoat. Also, you may notice that Ed cheated and painted one of the heads on the sprue. Don't worry, that is coming next in Step Five.

Step Five:

The separate head phase. Ed found he could paint faster if he kept the head on the sprue. Once it is painted you will have to carefully trim off the bitz you need, and cut off any extra plastic sprue left behind.

If you are really after speeding up the process, you can leave your Enchanted Blue open (from Step Four) and repeat the blue trim on the helmets. This is also a good time to paint the shields.

Editor's Note: There were actually quite a few colours that went into the painting of the heads and the shields and we have a colour location chart on the end of the article to give you a little more guidance.
