I just got my first set of citadel paints and i made sure to get a few of them all,

Base
Layer
Dry
texture
Glaze
shade
and liquid green stuff in case i need it


but i really dont know in what order i need to paint them on
i had a how to paint citadel miniatures DVD but i cant seem to find it, im sure you guys know the answer
thanks in advance!

I believe it's base shade layer layer dry but don't quote me on that but I do it base layer shade layer and if I want extra highlighting i dry brush then use a lighter shade to bring it all back together

to make a shade lighter do i just water is down? and does the model need to be dry after each of these steps?

You can use them in different combos.

The paints themselves dont always have to be used for what they are called either eg dry doesnt have to be drybrushed.

The colour scheme Im painting my DE atm goes base, drybrush with base, shade, layer.

I just add water to make my shades thinner but I'm useing the old washes atm
