What paints do you guys use for general SM detailing and accessories / weapons? (i.e. leather, purity seals etc.)

Do you have any cool homebrew paint mixes for certain things?

For most bits I honestly use GW paints, but if you want a really easy, and good looking power weapon glow/energy, I used electric blue in the game air range, thined down a bit, and you can glaze some awesome blues

VMA Sand and Sandy Brown are my go to for purity seal and cloth. It is such a nice combination.

VMC Bonewhite is the non-air version of sand, also really handy.

Faces I use VMC Tan and VMC Bonewhite in gradual mixes from pure tan to pure bonewhite. Easy mode for flesh.

Pouches I tend to use Citadel Rhinox Hide into some other GW colour I can't remember - it is such a nice brown.

Bolters are any black, then leadbelcher for detail

I almost exclusively use homebrew mixes, as I don't have all that many paint colors to choose from and have gotten by, thus far, without buying many more.

For leather, depending on the desired finish, I'll use some combination of: VGC Charred Brown, Leather Brown, Plague Brown and/or (old) GW Bestial Brown and Graveyard Earth. Some mixes are lightened with a bit of (old) GW Iyanden Darksun or VGC Bonewhite. Most are washed or glazed with AP Strong Tone ink, diluted Daler Rowney Sepia acrylic ink, and/or heavily diluted Higgins Back Magic black ink. With these, I can get a range of finishes from deep, dyed, and worn leather to freshly tanned cowhide to the white, grey, or yellow finishes of chrome-tanned goat or calf skin.

Purity seals are usually based in (old) GW Astronomicon Grey, as I still have some and it covers well over my frequently black primer. VGC Bonewhite forms the basecoat, over which I scribble fake text with a Sakura Pigma micron pen. A controlled wash or two of some sort of brown ink finishes the job.

The SM weapons I've painted, thus far, have had red trim. That hasn't been common for many years, so I'll ignore it. The rest is either black or gunmetal. For the gunmetal, I use (old) GW Boltgun Metal, washed with either Badab Black or a DIY ink mix, then highlighted with drybrushed Boltgun Metal, drybrushed VGC silver (a crap paint, IMO, unless drybrushed with a very specific effect in mind) or carefully edged with VMA silver, depending on the desired effect.
