Raven Guard Reiver — shadow black
Layered matte black armour stays dark beneath short grey reflections. Red lenses, one white heraldic focus and a quiet textured base give the Raven Guard Reiver a clear silhouette without bright outlines everywhere.

Spartan — sea-green armour
Smooth sea-green armour contrasts with steel tracks and dark gun mechanisms. Local seam shadows, small brass details and a red optic keep the Spartan clean, with dust confined to ground-contact links.

Blue-grey knitted elephant
Blue-grey knitted relief is softened by mauve inner ears and pale warm feet. Dark sheltered loops and lighter forehead stitches give the elephant texture without filling the carved pattern.

Olive-armoured shield bearer
Muted olive armour and shield contrast with warm skin and steel fittings. Soft muscle highlights, dark equipment and restrained edge wear keep the shield bearer rugged but readable.

Crimson knight with aged brass

Sun-yellow and orange body planes meet forest-green wings and a teal tail. Highlights stay inside the facets, with the strongest light on the crest and quieter colour beneath the body.

Mumm-Ra — crimson and ancient linen
Crimson cloth frames Mumm-Ra's cold blue-grey undead face and warm old linen. Separate shadows for skin, bandages and folds preserve the contrast, while red eyes and individual teeth sharpen the expression.

Paint concept — teal and ivory
Dark teal stitches surround ivory face discs and a pale breast. Ochre beak and feet, bright eye catchlights and gloss confined to the eyes keep the owl's knitted body soft and matte.

Paint concept — sage and chestnut
Sage-green skin and an olive rim support a chestnut shell with pale claws. Soft highlights follow the head and domed plates, while brown irises and matching catchlights give the turtle a lively gaze.

Green skin and battle-worn steel
Olive-green skin, black trousers and worn brown leather surround the Ork's battle-worn steel gun. Warmer ammunition, pale trophies and stronger facial highlights keep the heavy equipment from overpowering the figure.

Black armour and burgundy robes
Black armour and burgundy robes are lifted with restrained grey and soft red highlights. Ivory details, gold trim and distinct steel and leather equipment give the Chaplain a sombre ceremonial finish.

Ginger coat and ivory horns
A warm ginger coat frames a peach muzzle and horns blended from brown roots to ivory tips. Dark divided hooves and small eye reflections preserve the Highland cow's shaggy character.

Forest green, burgundy and gold
Forest-green skin, a cream belly and a burgundy scarf support the frog's golden crown. Soft facial highlights and dark reflective eyes keep the rounded figure gentle beneath the sharper metal reflections.

Amber plates and teal shadows
Amber front plates are balanced by cool teal sides and tail shadows. Small pale highlights on the crown and snout, together with amber eyes, concentrate the strongest contrast near the seahorse's head.

Moss-green skin and a deep teal cloak
Moss-green skin contrasts with a deep teal cloak and ochre cloth. Brown leather, warm ivory horns and small gold fittings frame the yellow eyes without competing with the face.

Vespid — orange carapace and ivory wings
Orange carapace and pale ivory wings make the Vespid's materials easy to distinguish. Cooler joints and a sharply edged pale rifle stay subordinate to the bright head and upper wing ridges.

Musk ox — dark brown and cream
Deep brown hanging fur surrounds a warm cream saddle patch. Ivory-to-brown horns, a dark muzzle and subtle hoof wear preserve the musk ox's heavy, natural appearance.

Antique bronze jaguar
Antique bronze reflections follow the jaguar's sculpted facets above a charcoal plinth. Dark sheltered curves and brighter upper-left planes give the metal depth without adding new ornament.
