hi im kinda stuck on what colours I could use for painting chips onto ultramarines.Help would be apreasheated any examples would go well too.
HAZZER

Paint the highlight with space wolf grey. Then paint the shade with UM blue mixed with a bit of black.

thanks!Ill try that!

My own Ultramarines are not exactly standard but people seem to like them.

I paint the blue in 3 layers, After a black undercoat, I base with Necron Abyss. After that I use a 50/50 mix of Necron and Enchanted blue, leaving the Necron Abyss in the darkest shadows and panel lines. Lastly a highlight pure Enchanted blue.

It makes for an intense blue with deep shadows.

Have a look in my gallery if you like for some examples.
