any one know how to paint/what paints to use for the cadian 39th?
I know I will need to use dark angles green, chaos black, but im confused on the armor and helmet

**Tim the Biovore**

Well, the helmet looks like Bestial Brown, Bleached Bone and Skull White. I'm not sure on the armour.

**raptor8**

The armor I think is a lighter shade of the standard cadian armor

any one else have suggestions?

**raptor8**

just ordered the paints... I need would I use dark angle green for a base coat or chaos black

**Popsicle**

Black, then DA Green. Otherwise, you're going to need 2 Coats of DA Green. If it's streaky, you'll need up to 4 Coats. Over Black, it'll be 1, and if it's streaky, thin it, and apply a Second. I think.

**raptor8**

what base coat do you think I should use for the armor?

**raptor8**

Double post

**Flinty**

The armour looks like a catachan green with a goblin green edging. Maybe camo green edging.

**Valkyrie**

I agree with Flinty on the armour. The helmet looks like Kommando Khaki with Bleached Bone highlights.

**raptor8**

thanks but do you think it would look any differant if I replaced catachan green with camo green.

Should I also under coat the helmet/armor/uniform wit skull white?

**Brother SRM**

Don't undercoat anything on that model skull white, except maybe the helmet. The body armor looks like Catachan Green with a Camo Green highlight. The helmet could be done over black in one coat with Dheneb Stone.

**raptor8**

Im planning on changing the armor color to the color of the helmet so should I First base coat the entire guardsmen in chaos black then paint the uniform CB/DAG helmet/armor in SW/Beastial brown/bleached bone
Im just a little lost
