Painting Tips for Your Space Marines

Painting Primaris Intercessors is a fantastic way to practice your base coating, washing, and edge highlighting techniques. We recommend using a high-quality range of Citadel Paints to achieve a clean, professional finish that makes your models stand out.

Start by priming your models with a spray paint that matches your chapter’s primary color. Use a wash to bring out the recesses in the armor plates, and then use a lighter, brighter color for edge highlighting to give the armor a sharp, metallic look. This is the perfect unit to experiment with different chapter schemes, allowing you to personalize your army to your exact vision.
