Lastly, I was wondering if most people have the full array/set of paints from different brands or GW. Or do you just mix paints like I do to get a good tone.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284104/1408849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284104/1408849.page GMT

I have an ultramarine army right now, so I'm versed in painting them and I start with black primer, regal blue, 50/50 regal/ultramarine, ultramarine, and then a very very light enchanted blue. Each dry brushing is progressively lighter. Also, inks are a pretty cheaty way to get the darker depth you're looking for; just use a slightly watered down layer of black ink.

On the white helmet in this picture I used a blue ink to draw in the blue armor. Normally I would use a black ink



As for a quick easy base I use lizard litter. It saves me have to go outside and find the right sand/dirt/pebbles/whatever. Its ground up walnut shells and you can get it at a petco or whatever your local corporate pet store is.

As for a base, i suggest mixing a little bit of GW's sand, with the small slates from the warhammer 40k basing kit. And then add static grass on top of that.

I think that would look like one of their home planets, i hope this helps.

Good luck.

Kav122: out of all the things someone would suggest to put on a base, that would the most random. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284104/1409749.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/284104/1409749.page GMT
