Brown chalk is worked into the blue hull’s recesses as an alternative to an ink wash, with varnish recommended if the model will be handled. Brazen Brass and Shining Gold build the ornament, brown-black ink deepens it, and Burnished Gold and Mithril Silver finish the edges. Similar curling gold designs decorate black gun casings. Patient hand-painted scripture and custom transfers complete the narrative surface.

Snot Green highlighted with Goblin Green establishes the skin, while several pale browns over Snakebite Leather vary the tunics. The Nobz receive more attention to details, Chestnut Ink on selected metal and Shining Gold highlights. A four-step glyph builds offset black and Bleached Bone circles, then restores a little skin colour inside to complete the crescent. Bone replaces yellow in key markings so they stand out from the clothing.

Matt Parkes describes display-level human faces through ten skin stages, carefully positioned eyes and a range of hair colours. Thin paint and intermediate mixes create gradual transitions, while ink choices alter the expression and character. Teeth, tattoos, warpaint and scars add distinct personalities without overwhelming the underlying face. The examples repeatedly use the same head so the effect of each choice can be compared directly.
