I'm a beginner at painting, and warhammer 40k tabletop in general. I'm making a Raven Guard army, so I was wondering what the names are for the color I need to get for painting the Raven Guard. I know they have the color scheme of red, black, and a bit of white. So I was wondering what citadel paint names I need to buy.

According to the space marine painting guide:

Raven Guard Armor

Basecoat: Chaos black citadel spray.
First highlight: Dark Reaper
Second highlight: Administratum Grey

Raven Guard Metal

Basecoat: Leadbelcher
Wash: Nuln Oil
First highlight: Runefang Steel
Pick out some details with: Balthasar Gold

Raven Guard Red Trim

Basecoat: Khorne Red
First Highlight: Troll Slayer Orange

White Armor

Basecoat: Ulthuan Grey
Shade: Drakenhof Nightshade
First Highlight: White Scar

And what it will looks like:

If you have a smartphone or tablet, why not get the app it’s free

I highly recommend it, especially for beginners. I've painted for a couple of decades now and I still find it useful.
