Using the Stahly Swatches System, I’ve put together two more colour palettes for you, each with four paints from light to dark. One palete with classic warm bone tones as you know and love them from Citadel / Warhammer Colour, but with better consistency and coverage. And then a somewhat more realistic bone palette that leans more towards beige or warm grey. Check out these essential paint picks.

Today we’re dusting off the silverware: I’ve brought you two colour quartets featuring my favourite silver paints. One with a neutral-cold undertone, and one with a warmer, more oily steel finish. All share perfect flow and high coverage, making them absolutely essential for any paint collection.

This weekend sees a host of new Ultramarines models going up for preorder – the perfect opportunity to dig through my paint archive in search of outstanding blue tones. Although, the blue palettes in this post are actually inspired more by the treacherous Night Lords…

The Salamanders are not only the “poster boy” faction of the current edition of The Horus Heresy, they’ve also recently received a new Combat Patrol and a model for Vulkan He’stan. But like many Legions and Chapters, their heraldic colours have changed over the centuries. In this post, I’m once again rummaging through my paint archive to put together two green palettes for the Salamanders in the 31st and 41st Millennium.

For decades, the Formula P3 paint range has been my go-to for bone colours, browns, teals, and petrols. Steamforged Games’ recent relaunch inspired me to put together a visual line-up of my favourite P3 brown and petrol paints for you.

Inspired by the new Aeldari models I searched through my paint archive for bright orange and peach tones. Perfect for Fire Dragons, the Trans-hyperion Alliance of the Votann, and many more.

In this post, I’ve put together a few new paint picks. Two palettes with what I think are the best paints for painting violet, one a bit warmer and the other a bit cooler.
