How to paint the Baneblade Set

1. Step 1: Prime for Painting Excellence
   Start by applying a solid base coat to your Baneblade using Chaos Black spray primer. This step ensures that the subsequent layers of paint adhere well to the model.
2. Step 2: Earthy Foundations
   Begin painting the armor with Zandri Dust, creating a foundation for the tank’s distinctive color. Make sure to cover the armor plates evenly with this earthy tone.
3. Step 3: Layer of Light
   Layer the Zandri Dust with Ushabti Bone to bring out the richness of the armor’s color. Focus on the raised areas and edges for a subtle but effective highlight.
4. Step 4: Camouflage Craftsmanship
   To create a captivating camouflage pattern on the armor, use Castellan Green. This pattern adds character and depth to your Baneblade’s appearance. Be creative with your shapes and placements, making it unique to your vision.
5. Step 5: Shading for Realism
   Apply Agrax Earthshade as a shade to the tank’s armor. Concentrate on the recesses and areas where shadows naturally occur. This step adds depth and a weathered effect to the model, making it look battle-hardened.
6. Step 6: Metallic Details
   Turn your attention to the tracks, weapons, antennas, and other small details. Use Leadbelcher to give these components a metallic finish. Ensure that your application is even and thorough, as these details can greatly enhance the tank’s realism.
7. Step 7: Emblem Elegance
   For the tank’s emblems, icons, or other detailed markings, employ White Scar. This crisp white paint brings these elements to life and provides a striking contrast against the tank’s earthy tones.
8. Step 8: Weathered Warrior
   To give your Baneblade a battle-worn appearance, introduce weathering effects. Typhus Corrosion can simulate rust and wear on the tank’s surfaces. Additionally, use Stirland Battlemire to apply mud effects to the tank’s tracks, enhancing the realism of your model.
9. Step 9: Protect and Preserve
   To safeguard your painstakingly painted Baneblade and give it a professional, matte finish, use Stormshield varnish. This step not only protects your work but also adds a consistent finish to the tank, ensuring it remains impressive for years to come.
