If you follow my painting tutorials on Tale of Painters, you probably know these: my go-to warm steel paints I use on (almost ;) EVERY model. These are spot-on matches for the classic Citadel steel paints like Leadbelcher & co. For better colour matching check out my hand-painted swatches on Patreon

Can't believe how much insanely cool stuff was presented in the #WarhammerPreview! Really loved all the Nurgle & Darkwater sculpts, the Battle-Pilgryms, Aranthus, and the new Necron character and Nightbringer. But Cathay and the Ultramarines were also super cool! What were your favourites?
