Favorite Paints:

*Evil Sunz Scarlet
*Fire Dragon Bright
*Agrax Earthshade

I play Blood Angels, Tryanids, and Death Guard

**ProwlerPC**

Black Primer
Agrax Earthshade
Armagedon Dust

Those three I get the most mileage from and very important on all my models. I layer up many shades but the above is a finishing touch (well except the primer, but yeah black instead of white).

My army is Orks. Goffs, Deathskulls, and Evil Sunz specifically.

**Sleep Spell**

Russ Grey, Balthasar Gold and Nuln Oil; even if chaos black flows super nice and agrellan earth is fun to mess around with...

Currently own Tau and Space Wolves. Though making a jetbike themed force (Eldar or Custodes) is getting more and more tempting for no particular reason.

**Maelstrom808**

Vallejo Metal Color Steel
Vallejo Metal Color Duraluminium
Vallejo Liquid Gold Old Gold

Some of the best metallics you'll find without getting into stuff that is a major pain to clean up.

Necons (of course) and Dark Angels

**Cheeslord**

Dwarf bronze (now not available but if you put enough red and orange into the current bronze it can be recreated)

Warplock bronze

Lich purple (now xerxes purple or somesuch but still more or less the same, unlike the bronze...)

Playing chiefly Necrons and Daemons, with a side order of CSM and hoping to get into Necron Wannabes (AdMech)

Mark.

**Rybrook**

Back in the day

Ultramarines blue (before it went purple), Enchanted blue and Boltgun metal

Have a guess at what I play or used to play

My favorite paint?
Leadbelcher - a single coat is completely opaque already and the consistency is just what I'm looking for in paint.
Unfortunately, not a low of Citadel paints compare favorably to this one...

My favorite colors though are my 50/50 mix of Retributor Armor and Vallejo Glorious Gold (not too bright like the latter or too bronze like the former), Vallejo Gory Red and my old mix of Vallejo German Grey and Coal Black that's just perfect for my taste - not too dark and not too grey. I only have a few drops left though and can't for the life of me remember the ratio of the paints...

Edit: I should add that I play Ultramarines of the 2nd company for all the gold trims and Black Templars.
