Arkiham Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) Handy guide for painters I thought, came in the white dwarf a while back, but not always accessible if you don't have it on you. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/PDF/Downloads/CitadelPaintingSystem.pdf This is a link to a basic guide on how to use the differing types of paint. https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/Citadel-Paint-Guide Edited August 2, 2017 by Arkiham Added colour wheel 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KALITAS Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Did it came as part of the WD or as separated sheet? Interested in the later. This is also helpful to people that -like myself- came back to the hobby after a long hiatus: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) It came out during the end times, I think it was the glottkin issue. It was a centre page thing which was separate so you can remove it without ruining the mag, disrupting the pages etc. Edit: found it.

Rintrah56 Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Pretty sure you can download this as a PDF from the GW website (like when you download PDF warscrolls from a model's page, go on a paint page and check the 'downloads' tab). I found it really helpful so definitely worth sharing for those who haven't seen it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rintrah56 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 ^ although having said that, just tried to find it and it's not there, so either I imagined it(!) or it's been taken down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkiham Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 There's a new app coming out soon guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durant Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Good job GW, hope it works well, I will try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah, I'll definitely give that a spin and particularly like the real life colour matches. I've got a bunch of photos on my phone of things I've taken pictures of that I might try and recreate for various armies if I ever get around to doing them and, while I could probably eyeball them with reasonable accuracy, if this works well, why wouldn't i do it?

TheWilddog Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Yeah this app looks neat. The paint by model function seems great. Being able to pull up hundreds of stock paint schemes is a great tool for people just starting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkiham Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Good news, the app is up and running. So far for the models they've uploaded. The guides are great, click a feature and it shows you the steps and colours. Real easy real smooth. App is great Edited September 17, 2017 by Arkiham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yeah, I like it so far, the only thing that I'd like them to add is a blank model that you can colour each section of and try out different colour combinations next to each other. I'm not sure if this would mean that they would have to paint a spacemarine for example with every colour scheme they list, so you could select the different sections, but It'd be a great feature.

And once you're done with colours, you can have a list of what Citadel paint colours (or others if the GW ones are unavailable) you need to get the effect you desire. It'll look something like this http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/colours.php?bpe=f5941d&bpj=f5941d&bp=f5941d&bpc=f5941d&hdt=f5941d&hdm=f5941d&hdl=f5941d&ey=FF0000&er=f5941d&pi=4D0000&nk=f5941d&ch=f5941d&eg=CFA374&sk=FAD9B6&abs=f5941d&bt=f5941d&cod=f5941d&ull=08427b&lk=08427b&lll=08427b&lft=08427b&url=f5941d&rk=f5941d&lrl=f5941d&rft=f5941d&slt=F5B607&sli=08427b&srt=F5B607&sri=f5941d&ula=08427b&lel=f5941d&lla=08427b&lw=08427b&lh=08427b&ura=f5941d&rel=08427b&rla=f5941d&rw=f5941d&rh=f5941d&bg=FFFFFF&rb=05AC57&gr=F5B607&ha=08427b& 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzaangor Management Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Thanks @kubermann, that's pretty handy. Lacks the subtelty of edge highlighting in different colours for example, but really solid for getting a feel for what colours would work together. Great resource. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kubermann Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 @Tzaangor Management No problem! As you said it's bit crude-ish, but it's the best there is so far. Also if you're looking to further make sure the colours match, there's this website (technically for designing other sites), that allows you to copy RGB number of the colour from B&C to the site and finds the ones that might go with it: http://paletton.com/#uid=1000u0kllllaFw0g0qFqFg0w0aF. And this other I've found and are using is you put RGB of a base colour and it provides you with plenty of shades for that particular colour and all: https://coolors.co/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
