Paint Schemes

All painted with GW paints; names are actual jar names (I have a mix of older and newer versions of the paints; there’s a conversion guide if you’re buying new versions only)

On all, figure out the sequence to paint to minimize re-touching, e.g. some old school guides say paint in order the person gets dressed but I don’t necessarily do that anymore

For example, on the trooper paint skin base color, paint shirt base color, paint jacket base color then dry brush, then clean up shirt and wash, paint boots and dry brush, then paint pants and wash, clean up skin and wash

This lets you get a heavy dry brush without being too careful since you’re going to paint the other parts later anyway…

Rebel Saboteur

Skin: hawk turquoise, asurmen blue wash, dry brush ice blue

Gun: abbadon black, dry brush boltgun metal

Boots: mournfang brown, devlan mud wash

Pants: graveyard earth, devlan mud wash

Shirt: skull white, badab black wash, skull white highlight

Jacket: ushabti bone or screaming skull (I forget), devlan mud wash, ushabti bone or screaming skull highlight

Backpack/straps: charadon granite, dawnstone dry brush; I intentionally didn’t try and paint chest as part of the shirt or jacket, just left it same color as backpack

Metal canisters/bombs on chest: boltgun metal (directly over charadon granite), badab black wash, boltgun metal highlight

Goggles: abbadon black, dawnstone dry brush, fortress grey (lenses)

Base: abbadon black

Krylon matte finish spray

Rebel Trooper

Skin: dheneb stone, devlan mud wash, devlan mud wash again, dheneb stone highlight (nose only); didn’t paint eyes

Helmet: Skull white, abbadon black; antenna: abbadon black, dry brush boltgun metal; strap: abbadon black

Shirt: [light blue…it’s an older jar and the label was off!], asurmen blue wash (chest and sleeve creases only)

Jacket: charadon granite, dawnstone dry brush

Belt: abbadon black, boltgun metal

Pants: mordian blue, asurmen blue wash, mordian blue highlight/dry brush

Boots & hip pouch: abbadon black, dawnstone dry brush

Base: abbadon black

Krylon matte finish spray

Hope this helps... :)
