How to paint Imperial Guardsmen (40k)

[EDIT] OH! And paint the skull on the helmet, gun, and canteen boltgun metal.
The tip of the gun and the ammo clip boltgun metal, with a lightlight of chainmail. I'm sorry I forgot to fit this in the vid.

I also regret the lack of step by step pictures. (I had no blank models)
So if you need further instructions send me a private message. I will be glad to help!

[Gamer0900]

@LotrWargamer: I have a new one up.

I could make a new vid. But I'm on a break from Warhammer.

Nice guide, lacking a good wash and highlights though. Got the urge back to pick up the brush again...

[Gamer0900]

Yes. My painting techniques have changed quite a bit. Maybe I should do another vid...

[Lordofexcess]

Awesome ... thanks for the FREE guide. Unlike alot of other jerks trying to make money for poor quality paint guides, you posted a decent guide for free ... out of love of the hobby. Keep it up please, the jerks trying to make money from people for simple do it yourself guides should be shot :) We need more painted armies and forcing kids and poor gamers (who spend all their money on the models) to pay to learn how to paint their armies is just bs.

Hey thanks man. Thats really true.

Miniwargaming is charging for their guide, its good, but they -could- do it for free. But your right, some sub par guides are BS.

[Terramarine1]

prime them black and if the metal still shows trough than paint some watered down choas black over it this should help.
