Photo one step one gather figs to paint. Photo two is base coat and to do that is chose a base color and paint the figures armor and if wanting a more uniform look arms and legs also in base color. Then layering with a tiny brush dark colors such as dark stone and black over the base coat for a weathered look. Then with a small tiny brush use tiny amounts of silver for scratch Mark's on the armor more silver for big scratches and so forth. Then using tiny amount of black to blend the weathering layer and the silver layer together till satisfaction. Last using metallic silver or gold paint the visors to make all the figs match if so desired and to cover paint mistakes on the visors. Last is to look in satisfaction at your work and feel proud. The last photo shows some possibilities that a painter can do. If you are in need of some examples check out my gallery and you shall see alot of customs I've have done. For those looking for paint the Army Painter Warpaint sets are a good start into model paints which work really well compared to generic craft paint. Paint on my friends for the possibilities of customs awaits your creativity.
