How to paint 'Nexus' Space Bases

Nick speaking,

Here is a little tutorial on how I paint my 'Nexus' Space Bases for my Battlefleet Gothic army...

1/ Prime the base black

2/ Paint curved lines with Xereus Purple. Make sure the waves are different in each line, almost opposite each other. Then dry brush Xereus Purple from one edge, blending it into the black

3/ Paint the main line Screamer Pink, adding some off shoots if you like. Then dry brush Screamer pink from the main line into the Purple. Make sure you leave the outer purple section visible. Then repaint in the main line with Screamer Pink  

4/ Now dry brush a few areas of the outer edge with Caledor Sky

5/ Next add some Kakarth Flesh to the Screamer pink to make a light pink. Use this to paint thin lines on the outer edges of the waves 

6/ Use the same pink mix to dot in a few stars. These dots can vary in size, but don't do too many 

7/ Now add in some white dots to give the stars some depth, and you're all done
