Hey guys,

Preferably a slightly warm darker grey.

Thanks dudes.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean... by a "warm grey" do you mean a colourless flesh tone?

I paint my psykers with a 50/50 mix of elf flesh and fortress grey to make them look pretty dead.

Gathering the Informations.

Testor's sells decent sized paint jars with eyedroppers(a pack of 12 is like $5 or so) that is a fantastic way to make your own paint blends. Even comes with labels to stick on the top of the jars to write out the mixes.
