'm considering either splitting the Starter Box with someone or buying them off eBay. So, I'm curious... which paints are needed? I usually don't wash my models as, while I do have the patience to paint them, I don't have the patience to repaint them after the wash darkens them. Don't get me wrong, washed models look great. I just don't do it.

So, I guess my question really should be, pre-shade/wash, which paints are needed for Stormcast Eternals?

Thanks in advance

What line do you typically buy from? Citadel paints? Vallejo?

GW put up some really great painting tutorials for the Stormcast, complete with which paints to use. If you aren't using washes or highlighting, use the colors they use after the washes.

So, Retributor Armor -> Reikland Fleshshade (wash) -> Auric Armor Gold -> Liberator Gold, use Auric Armor Gold as your base color. Can't remember what the blue is.

Even without washes or highlight, remember to always apply two thin coats.

Excellent point that I should have brought up earlier.... GW paints.

Go with Sqorgar's suggestion. GW's guides are very helpful/

I'd suggest the GW vids too. At the start of them you get an entire list of all the GW paints needed to paint it in that colour scheme.

Alternatively, there is a GW painting guide for the AoS starter box models that you could pick up.
Some of the colours in that guide are different to the ones used in the vids though.
