hello. Need advise on which paints and method i should use to paint the colors of my SM design. By using only GW paints btw

As a base I'd say Kabalite Green for the green highlight with Sybarite Green with coelia greenshade, Khorne red for the red highlighted with Wazadakka red possibly darkened with Agrax Earthhade.

Yellow and Grey are just whatever takes your fancy.

And because pictures say it better this green:



and this red (this has however been edged in orange):


I'm a big fan of airbrushing as a method, for this two colour scheme I'd advise airbrushing the model with the green and doing the red by hand.

Here you have Games Workshops own painting system

For the green the Dark Eldar set of colours seem to fit, or the Lizardman ones. I'd personally take the Lizardmen set, but I think the Dark Eldar would be more accurate to your picture. Keep the overall armour dark (basecoat and wash), and do edge highlights with the layer colours.

For the red I'd take the Khorne colours. I'd also make the wings silver, rather than gold.

Thanks for the advise everyone! I do like the green and red on both the diff squads. I assume this will all be painted on black primer. Fishybob, I might prefer a mixture between the two, coz I'm trying to go for a darker version of the old scaly green paint.

I might be posting up a picture of a completed squad when I find the time. Cheers everyone for the good advise!
