Astra Militarum Paint Set 10 Essential Colours

Grim, massed and unflinching the Guard is a lot of models, so the paints need to work hard. This set gathers the ten colours for drab fatigues, leather webbing, battered lasguns and muddy boots, picked so you can batch-paint a platoon without second-guessing a single pot.

What’s in the set

• Base (3): Castellan Green, Mournfang Brown, Leadbelcher
• Layer (3): Straken Green, Karak Stone, Stormhost Silver
• Shade (2): Agrax Earthshade, Nuln Oil

Best for

• Castellan Green fatigues lifted with Straken Green

Block in, wash, dirty them up it’s the fastest route to a whole regiment that looks like it’s been living in a trench.

Miniatures not included. Pots come in a mix of Citadel and Warhammer Colour packaging it’s the same paint, Games Workshop is mid-way through renaming the range. Add a decent brush and a can from our spray primers and you’re ready to paint the whole platoon.
