If ever there was truly a flagship model to this army, it would be Mulg. Our crack team of scientific experts have already proven Mulg's potent position of palpable primacy, and we persist to placate your plaintive pleas for a paintjob with plenty of panache.1
To that end, I present this exposé on what was, in all seriousness, a solid weekend of painting and something I always love to drop on the table to strike terror into the hearts of heavy warjacks.

I knew that I was not nearly talented enough to paint the red into the runes after the rest of the stone was painted, so I used a very high level professional painting technique and...well...just didn't do that. Instead, I slathered on a bright, angry red across the krielstone and got the paint into the nooks and crannies of Mulg's back mounted novella. Afterwards, I started drybrushing over the red in GW Dawnstone. This created the desired effect of both having the red coming from within the deeper parts of the model, and some of the red still bled through the grey paint to create a sort of reddish glow around the runes.
