The individual miniatures in a Legions Imperialis army may be tiny, but they’re still packed with detail, and with pre-orders going live this Saturday you’ll be painting a lot of them in the near future. With 223 models in the awesome boxed set alone, you’ll want to paint each individual Legionary as painlessly as possible, and our new video tutorial helps you do just that.
This expansive video shows you how to batch paint every one of the 18 Legiones Astartes with just a handful of paints – from squads of Space Marines to Dreadnoughts and tanks. These same techniques are equally handy for painting the Solar Auxilia, who typically use large amounts of metallic paints with a few colours here and there for style.
Batch painting is a great way to get as many miniatures as possible ready for the battlefield, but if you want to spend extra time getting your leaders, big vehicles, and other showstopping models looking their best, you can browse the hundreds of guides on the Citadel Colour website to find one that works for you.
You’ll be surprised at how much detail you can pack into a Space Marine smaller than a bolt pistol!
