July 2017·pp. 97–98

James shares his maroon armour mixture and the supporting gold, silver, cream, black and red recipes that unify the Astral Templars. Grouping similar painting stages keeps the method efficient; successive brown and bone drybrushes add stripes and texture to the Vanguard troops’ fur.
