Once you have primed the models with Chaos Black Spray Primer, painting can begin. Below, you will find a simple-but-effective color scheme using nine colors. Follow the detailed instructions and check out the stage-by-stage images for reference as you paint your models. Don't fret if the model doesn't come out picture-perfect in the end; painting takes time and practice to master. Just do the best you can each time and be open to learning new techniques from others. Before you know it, you'll be quite an accomplished painter with models you'll be proud to game with!
By following this technique with your own Clanrats, you'll be able to paint up large numbers of infantry. The same methods can certainly be used for painting Clanrat Slaves and Stormvermin as well.
