Some things do not die. They wait. This is the host of deathless metal, silent in the tomb-dark until the cold green light kindles behind their eyes. This kit wakes a warrior fast, with no guesswork and no forty bottles you'll open once and forget.

Five paints, one clean route from primer to finished mini. Undercoat black, sheath the body in metal, tarnish the recesses with a matched ink, kindle the energy in glowing green, then pick out the gold. Metal, shade, glow: the method these ancient soldiers demand, pre-selected so the colours work together instead of fighting each other.

Every bottle carries a printed opacity marking, so you know at a glance whether a colour covers in one coat or wants two. The kind of intelligent design the legacy brands still do not bother with. High-pigment, water-based acrylic in dropper bottles. Better paint, better price, no excuses.

1. 1Undercoat. Prime the model black to kill the plastic sheen and give the metal above it depth.
2. 2Base the metal. Sheath the whole body in silver over the black.
3. 3Shade. Pull black ink into the recesses to tarnish the metal and define every plate.
4. 4Kindle the glow. Fluorescent green on the rods, eyes and weapon coils.
5. 5Trim. Pick out symbols and casings in gold, and the warrior wakes.
