His enemies are left in awe, believing they are facing an entire army rather than a single man.

How to paint the Sly Marbo model
- Step 1: Basecoat
Start by applying a basecoat of dark green to the armor, using a suitable green paint such as Caliban Green. Ensure an even coverage over the entire miniature. - Step 2: Clothing and Gear
Next, paint the clothing and gear with appropriate colors. For example, paint the pants and pouches with a brown shade like Rhinox Hide, and the belt and straps with a dark leather color like Doombull Brown. Be careful and precise to avoid painting over adjacent areas. - Step 3: Skin and Face
Paint the exposed skin areas with a flesh tone paint such as Kislev Flesh. Take your time and apply thin, smooth layers to achieve a natural-looking skin tone. Use a smaller brush for the facial details, like the eyes and mouth, and carefully highlight the raised areas with a lighter flesh tone like Flayed One Flesh. - Step 4: Weaponry
Focus on painting the weapons. Use metallic paints like Leadbelcher for the metallic parts, such as the barrel and trigger of the gun. Apply a wash, like Nuln Oil, over the metallic areas to add depth and definition. For any other non-metallic parts, choose appropriate colors, such as black for the grip of the gun or red for the laser sight. - Step 5: Details and Highlights
Now it’s time to add details and highlights. Use a fine brush to carefully pick out smaller details, such as buttons, insignia, and straps, with appropriate colors. Retributor Armour is an excelent option for this job. - Step 6: Basing
Paint the base of the miniature to complement the overall theme. You can use a texture paint like Stirland Mud to represent soil or apply a layer of brown paint followed by drybrushing with lighter earth tones for a more natural effect. Add grass tufts or small rocks for extra detail. - Step 7: Varnish
To protect your hard work, apply a layer of varnish over the painted miniature. This will help preserve the paint job and provide a matte or glossy finish, depending on your preference.
