That is a majestic sight! Congrats on your dedication to complete this.
If it's not too much hassle do please outline your process/paints used. Those are some of the best ZM tiles I have seen to date.
I posted a how-to on Instagram, here’s the

Edit- here’s the text for those who don’t use Instagram
Zone Mortalis Painting Method-
1- Spray walls and columns with #thecolourforge black, then dust with Standard Grey from a slight angle, then lightly dust with Ghoul Grey from a steeper angle.
2- Spray the lids with GW Wraithbone.
3- Paint random panels with Agrellan Earth (any crackle texture paint will do), hit them with a hairdryer to speed the process and get some really cool cracks!
4- Basecoat the panels with GW XV-88 using an airbrush for speed. Don’t worry too much about neatness, but try and keep it within the panels as best you can. If you don’t have an airbrush just use a brush!
5- Layer Vallejo Game Air Off-White with an airbrush over the XV-88 (or GW Wraithbone), leaving some brown showing towards the bottom of the panels. Again, don’t worry too much about neatness but try to be as neat as you can. Any accidents just add variation and won’t be noticeable after the wash and drybrush stage!
6- Paint any metallics on the lids and walls. I used Retributer armour for the lights on the walls. Use random variations of silver/gold/bronze/copper for visual interest.
Spray everything lightly with water (I used an empty kitchen cleaner bottle), then apply a heavy brown/black wash (I made my own with water, matte medium, flow improver, and black and brown ink mixed together).
On the lids, wipe off the wash from the flat parts with paper towel while the wash is still wet so when everything is dry they still look bright.
7- Drybrush the walls with Tyrant Skull.
All that’s left is to add details and weathering effects to taste! I use GW Contrast Warp Lightning green to paint the light sections on the walls too, but any bright contrast will do!
would look cool as anything though
