So I want to paint up my Genestealer Cults for Kill team and as an army.
I love the colours of the figures on the boxes - the blue uniform and red cloth ones - and need to know more about their paints.
I would prefer the paints to be GW paints, however.

(If they are named - I'd like to know their cult name / brotherhood name)

Any further tips on painting, or GSC in general would be appreciated.

Do you have a smartphone?
The Citadel Paint app will tell you everything you need to know about the schemes they used for boxed models.
It has the Acolyte Hybrid listed, anyway.

Blue uniform is Stegadon Scale Green edge highlighted with Thunderhawk Blue.

For the lazy...

Blue is described as "Crimson Fists Armor": Kantor Blue/Nuln Oil/Alaitoc Blue/Hoeth Blue.
Red is Mephiston Red/Agrax/Evil Sunz/Wild Rider.
Dark red is Khorne Red/Carroburg Crimson/Wazdakka Red/Wild Rider. I've found that you can sub Nuln Oil for Carroburg Crimson if you want and it'll look good, a little darker sometimes if you go hard.

If you want box art, don't buy get paint, you want Vallejo
