1. Undercoat everything in WHITE, unless its going to be painted in a metal colour, in which case, undercoat the metal bits with black.
2. Once thats dry take a colour of your choosing for the flesh (flesh is a good choice) and paint it where the flesh should be. For space marines pick a colour for the armour and paint it where the armour should be.
3. Take your metallic paint (like chainmail, or boltgun metal, or mithril silver or whatever) and paint the metallic parts up. So in this case the metallic bits are the axe, arm ring, nose ring, ear ring and belt buckle. We have also painted in (using a slight wash technique) some fur on the legs (using beastial brown)
4. We have now painted the gloves belt and rest of the fur
You could leave it like this as a basic painted model (in this case a minotaur but could equally be a space marine or whatever), however, moving on...
5. We have now used flesh wash on the skin to pick out all the details. Scab red wash on the gloves and warlock purple on the belt. This has the effect of picking out the details and looking great when it dries.
6. Everything has been tidied up a bit, wash applied again as needed, and the base painted green to appear as grass, allthough you can paint this whatever, to look like whatever it is you want them to be standing on.
You should now end up with something that looks vaugley like the above image Unless its not a Minatour. Obviously.
