   To begin, prime your C’tan Shard of the Void Dragon set with Chaos Black Spray. This crucial step creates a solid foundation for your paints, ensuring optimal adhesion and a smoother painting process.
2. Step 2: Base Coat – Body
   Using Celestra Grey, apply a consistent and even base coat to the body of the miniature. This neutral color acts as a starting point for subsequent layers and helps create a harmonious color palette.
3. Step 3: Shading – Body
   Enhance the body’s depth and contours by shading with Drakenhof Nightshade. Focus on the recesses and crevices, allowing the shade to settle and accentuate the model’s intricate details.
4. Step 4: Energy Effects
   Infuse the energy effects with vibrant vitality. Begin with a Moot Green base, followed by layered applications of Warpstone Glow or Tesseract Glow. To achieve a captivating luminosity, delicately blend Moot Green with Flash Gitz Yellow at the tips, creating a mesmerizing glow that emanates from the model.

   For the wings and metallic elements, utilize Leadbelcher to establish a base layer. This sets the stage for subsequent shading and highlighting, adding contrast and visual interest.

   Deepen the shadows on the wings and metallic components with Nuln Oil. Apply the shade strategically to amplify the dimensional quality of these areas.

   Paint the floating debris with Abaddon Black, providing a dark backdrop for the subsequent layers. This base coat sets the tone for a weathered and immersive appearance.

   Elevate the body’s intricacies by delicately highlighting edges and raised portions with Ulthuan Grey. This technique imparts a luminous quality to the model, accentuating its contours and creating contrast.

    Highlight the edges and prominent features of the wings and metallic components with Ironbreaker. This step introduces brilliance and dimension to these areas, enhancing their metallic gleam.

13. Step 13: Varnish
    Conclude your masterpiece with a protective varnish. Your choice of finish depends on the desired outcome. For a striking and vibrant result, opt for Ardcoat varnish.
