After the model was cleaned up and any mould lines filed off, the
arms were pinned to the torso, and then the rest of the figure was
assembled. The Bone Giant was then sprayed with an undercoat of
Chaos Black and any areas where the paint had failed to catch were
touched up with thinned Chaos Black paint.

 To
get a clean, sun-bleached effect, the bone sections were painted
almost white. To achieve this, a basecoat of Bestial Brown
was used. This was then highlighted with Snakebite Leather.
Bronzed Flesh was used for the next highlight stage, followed
by a highlight of Bleached Bone. The final highlights were
then made using Skull White. A thinned mix of equal parts
Chestnut Ink and Brown Ink was painted into the recesses,
and any areas where the ink had spread too far were covered
over with Skull White.
 The
gold had to look old without being overly tarnished. A basecoat
of Shining Gold was used first, highlighted at first with
Burnished Gold. This was followed by a wash with the same
Chestnut and Brown inks mix used on the bone areas (it is
a good idea to mix some up in a spare pot if you have one).
The edges of the gold were then highlighted with a mix of
Burnished Gold and a small amount of Mithril Silver.

 To
add some variety, the bindings and bandages were painted in
a couple of different colours. All of the bandages were painted
with Scorched Brown. The edges of some were then painted with
a highlight mix of Scorched Brown and Rotting Flesh. The other
bandages were highlighted with Bestial Brown, followed by
Snakebite Leather and a final highlight with Bronzed Flesh.
Both types of bandages were then given a wash with thinned
Brown Ink to tie them in with the rest of the model.
 The
belt was painted with a basecoat mix of equal parts Chaos
Black and Codex Grey. This was then highlighted with thin
lines of Codex Grey.

To give the stones the appearance of real turquoise
(rather than just a flat colour) the following method
was used. Hawk Turquoise was used as a basecoat, to
which small amounts of Skull White were then added to
this for several subtle highlight stages.
The weapons were painted with a basecoat of Brazen
Brass. This was highlighted with a mix of Mithril Silver
and Brazen Brass. Once the blades had been given their
final highlight stage, they were given a wash with thinned
Brown Ink.
