What paint should I use for the two grays on this picture and what are some good methods of painting colors that are really close to each other and still have them stand out? I'm an experienced painter but am not familiar with citadel at all and my hobby store stopped carrying the paints I use.

You can start with black primer, watered down chaos black to cover miss primed areas, washed down skaven blige, let dry then dry brush on some dark-mid tone greys, like eshin grey, mechanicus grey, highlight with dry’ dawnstone; then the gadget/lens details.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784404/10686463.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784404/10686463.page GMT Help putting colors to citadel paint

First, painting isn’t finding the matched color and apply directly on like printing, it’s layered colors to get what you see.

I know how to paint but I paint hoards and sell them, I tend to mostly quick two coats and a dry-brush. This Kill Team is my chance to flex again and get back to doing a good job. Thank you for the advice on the colors to use! I want the army to look like an actual tactical assault force and I'm used to painting biker orks, Khorne, and bugs.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784404/10686468.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784404/10686468.page GMT Help putting colors to citadel paint

Hey all, I'm trying to figure out how to paint some shades of grey for my kill team list inspired by metal gear.

That grey has a tinge of blue in it. I would use something blue greyish. Vallejo Model Color makes a nice grey/blue called French Mirage (70.900) and you can darken it using black or lighten it using white, if needed. I know you asked about Citadel paints, but for that color, I like the Vallejo better, not only for coverage, but also for consistency. Some of the Citadel greys dry very grainy even when using a wet palette. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784404/10686644.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/784404/10686644.page GMT Re:Help putting colors to citadel paint
