Yesterday i was asked if i would like to paint an Imperial Guard Lord Commissar for my local http://www.wargamestore.com/, but was also asked if i could show step by step how i painted by another friend using my previous paint scheme.

so this is a step by step guide to how its done and how easy a good paint job can be achieved with minimal effort.

• first after a small bit of Assembly i base coated my model with army painter bleach bone colour.

• once this was dry after about 15-25 min, i then painted the cape, peak cap, boots and shoulder pads with Graveyard Earth. iv thinned down my paints a tiny bit but normally one and abit coats dos the job, just so its a solid colour.



• Next i painted all the silver bits like his power sward, chest plate and any trim parts with Mithril Silver. i also painted the fur trim to the top of his cape with Codex grey.

• The next step was simple but it is down to you, i painted the sash with Mechrite red as this colour is a theme in my guard army but as its the most prominent colour on the model you can use any colour you want, blues are good and so are greens, because once there washed the give off a royal affect.
• i also added the first was to his face, using a detail brush i applied a thin layer of Ogryn flesh, allowing it to seep into all the recesses

• Next i painted the hilt of the power sword with Shining gold ant the peak of the cap with Chaos black, once this was dry i washed the whole model APART FROM THE FACE with Devlan mud and allowed to dry.



• next i added any final colours, i leave any small detail colours till after i have washed with Devlan mud so i don't dull or darken them too much. once these colours and final touch ups are done, you now was the model with Badab black APART FROM THE FACE. and allow to dry.

• The final step now was to lightly dry brush the fur to of the cape with a tiny bit of Codex grey, the edge of the sword, trim of the cap and shoulder pads or any part you have painted with Mithril silver just to highlight. doing the same with the hilt of the sword but using Burnished gold.

•  All you need to do now is decide on how you will base your model, sadly i ran out of PVA glue so will have to wait till i get some more

I hope you like this guide and the out come of this painting scheme, please feel free to comment as long as its nice.all the paints and tools use i bought from http://www.wargamestore.com/ which i highly recommend above all, this model will be on display there.
