The Colours of the Chapters

With the new Codex: Space Marines hitting shelves tomorrow, we thought that now would be a great time to share some painting guides for the Adeptus Astartes. Today, we’re giving you five such videos for a range of Chapters.

Whether you like to do things by the book* and wish to paint Ultramarines, or prefer a rarer Chapter such as the Storm Giants, our guides have got you covered. Maybe you want to learn the secrets of the red and blue (or is that blue and red?) armour of the Brazen Claws, or discover how to paint the uniforms of the mysterious Exorcists. Perhaps you’re inclined to join the Mantis Warriors on their penitent crusade – well, with these videos, you can get your army looking great on the tabletop.

While these videos all focus on painting infantry, the techniques work just as well on any model in the Space Marines range, including the new Invader ATV or the Firestrike Servo-turret – and the tips can be used with other colours to help you paint any Chapter you desire.

Grab your paints and your brushes, then get those Space Marines ready to protect the Imperium! Make sure that you use #WarhammerCommunity to share pictures of your models on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. 


* That book being the Codex Astartes, of course.
