Im brand new just of the "boat" anyone know of any good painting/assembly tutorials?

And advice for painting/assembly, i dont want to F up my models before there even together

Ive searched you tube but havent found any really good ones yet

I'm pretty sure this should be in regular painting and modeling

Search the articles and you'll find a lot

Yep, the articles section on here is pretty damned useful, as is the one on www.coolminiornot.com - an excellent site for inspiration!

Sorry for posting in the wrong section, and thanks for pointing me in the right direction

No worries, and you're welcome! Dakkadakka is a great forum - hope you enjoy it here!

good stuff there too

Thanks, that help while on the subject of painting im trying to decide what color to paint my marines and im at a loss.

I was thinking a combo of a deep purple, black and a gold for accents might look cool, any suggestions?

Try clicking here. It's a list of all known space marine chapters and there's pictures of the colour schemes of those that are known. Failing that, feel free to come up with your own. Deep Purple (Da Da Da, Da Da DADAAAA....Smoke on the waaaater.... ) sounds good to me. Give it a try, just get stuck in!
