My Favourite Citadel Paint Formulas

Happy Saturday everyone :) Today I thought I would share some of my favourite paint formulas with you. These are my go-to formulas when painting these colours, although I do vary things depending on the shade and the reference picture. Hopefully this is a great starter guide for those of you who are just starting customising or a fun alternative to experiment with for those of you who are experienced.

The colour formulas here are based on the Citadel range from Games Workshop. You can purchase these here: https://www.games-workshop.com/en-GB/detail?N=3815391097+2401632303&searchTerm=paint
