How to Paint Ash Waste Nomads

This recipe covers a complete painting process for Ash Waste Nomads, starting with a zenithal prime and building through base coats, washes, and highlights. The technique uses The Army Painter's Speedpaints and Warpaints Fanatic ranges for fast, effective coverage with strong colour transitions.

Follow the steps in order for best results, allowing each layer to dry before progressing. Unfortunately I don't have shots of each step for this recipe, so the same image is used in each step.
