May 2017·p. 141

Thilo Engels builds pink-purple armour through successive mixtures and drybrushed highlights, contrasting it with carefully shaded metals. Highlighted brown chips create battle damage and Forge World orange rust powder finishes the feet, giving the elaborate Legion colours a used battlefield appearance.
