PAINTING THE STRUCTURE
Painting can begin once all the glue and gap filler is dry. Start by coating the walls and the pillars (and the floor, if you didn't use plaster) with textured paint or a mix of watered-down glue and sand. This texture will help you when you start drybrushing. Wait for this to dry and then undercoat the entire table with Chaos Black by hand (spray paints will melt the foam) – emulsion house paints work well on large surfaces like this one has.
Next, paint the floor, walls, and pillars. Start by blotting on patches of Scorched Brown everywhere. Then, heavily drybrush with Shadow Grey, followed by Codex Grey. To finish, lightly drybrush with Fortress Grey on the edges of the stonework. As an added level of detail, run Brown Ink into the cracks of the floor to give the table more of an aged appearance.
Basecoat any wood features with Graveyard Earth, followed by a drybrush of Kommando Khaki. For the metal areas, drybrush with Boltgun Metal and edge with Chainmail. Lastly, use Red Gore to daub the walls with Goblin iconography and symbols.
