Thanks to all your help and your suggestions I went and got myself some boyz. Even found the old multipose one that I got recommended somewhere. Had a good time building them and now it is time for paining.

I know I am artistically challenged so it is a moment I dead. But I have done some research and found the slapchop technique which could fit me. So paining stuffs. I plan to head to my local store tomorrow and wee what I can pick up but I sure would love some specific colour recommendations. When I was there last I think I only saw citadel colours so we may have to work with only those.

Colours then, specific recommendations very helpful

  • For drybushing highlights a grey and a white. Does it matter which ones? Straight up basic bases?

  • Black primer

Contrast colours

  • Skin: Green (the best colour). Not too "industrial" green but rather pine/moss, some yellow tints.

  • "Shirts": Red (goes fasta so they charge better). Crimson-ish?

  • Metal parts: A metal-ish one. But which? Not too sure what feel I want for these bits.

  • Other fabrics: A warm gold-orange yellow. To have something else for details than just red and metal. Perhaps also for mixing.

All in all this would be six colours and a can of primer. Plus brushes. I don't feel I can get away with less but would love to.

This is a general community for 40k miniatures, art, lore discussion, and gameplay discussion.

Rules

  1. Keep it civil.
  2. No memeposts/shitposts. Memes are great but direct them to grimdank.
  3. Please mark any posts containing realistic nudity or realistic excessive gore/violence as NSFW; this rule mainly applies to cosplay and realistic drawings rather than miniatures. Being that 40k is inherently violent, this is a judgement call, and mods may occasionally request posters add tags.
  4. No political or social cause agenda pushing.
