Last year (ISH) I painted up one of my 5th edition Space Marines. I was really happy with the paint scheme I put together and wanted to document the paints used on each part for future reference.
I felt it may be fun to share this with you all. The final paint scheme definitely turned out very “Loyalist Emperor’s Children” but I am really happy with it. I hope you find this article to be useful.

What if I don’t own these specific paints?
If you don’t own these specific paints, feel free to experiment with similar alternatives from other manufacturers. Useful paint comparison charts are available from The Army Painter here (compares WPF, WP and Citadel) or there is this one from Warlord Games (compares: WPF, AK Interactive, Citadel, Vallejo)
I hope you found this small article to be of use,
