Painting: Games Workshop: Warhammer 40k: Astra Militarum (Imperial Guard)/Genestealer cult brood brothers

After painting my Astra Militarum/GC Brood brothers I thought it best to document this quick process I am following.

For these I have gone for an urban look; concentrating on grey.



I have mostly used paints from the Vallejo colour range, unless indicated otherwise

The standard process is as follows:
  • Undercoating in grey.
  • Paint any leather with Beasty brown (72.043)
  • Paint the lasgun/Autocannon barrel in Gun metal grey (Model color: 70.863) and the bayonet in Chainmail (72.053)
  • Boots are painted GW Abbadon Black
  • Flesh is painted Tan (72.066).
  • Touch up the grey areas with Cold grey (72.050) where I've gone over with other paints or where the undercoat hasn't reached
  • Cover everything except the flesh in AP Dark Tone
  • Once the Dark tone has dried I dry brush Stonewall grey (72.049) all over, then I paint the iconography with the same.
  • Paint the bayonet blade with Silver (72.052).
  • Then the flesh is painted with Dwarf skin (72.041)
  • PVA is added to the base and the base is dipped into fine ballast.
  • The rim of the base is painted with GW Abbadon Black
