Hello everyone! I've finally gone off the deep end and started collecting a steel legion army. Everyone should thank me as I'm pretty sure that's the ONLY reason we have rumors of new SL plastics around the corner. *takes a bow* You're welcome!

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out what paints to use for my steel legion. I'm wanting to paint them as close to cannon as I can, but I don't need to be spending a crazy amount of time on each trooper.

So I'm planning on undercoating black, then airbrushing everything in Steel Legion Drab. I'm planning on using rhinox hide with a seraphim sepia wash for the leather. Leadbealcher and nuln oil was for the metal. The yellow for the coats is kind of stumping me though. Thoughts on this? Also need help on the grey for the helmets and pants!
