If you're looking for another USMC painting guide which uses purely Citadel colours, there's a classic here from the late Andy Zeck: https://www.warlordgames.com/usmc-spe... Even after years of painting, Andy's style influenced how I get my models on the table as quickly as possible, so it's well worth checking out how others might approach the same subject! Andy's are a lot more green than mine turn out, but you might like how that looks.

A few odd technical glitches featured in the audio of today's recording, so there are some odd cuts and jumps in this one. My apologies for some of the stilted nature of the outcome here, but I think it still works pretty well!

Thanks to Producer level Patrons Alan Nuttall, Ben Hicks, Kyrie Crawford, Trainboy, and Connor, as well as all the other Patrons that made this video possible, and Exit23 Games for recording equipment that helps keep the channel ticking over! Find out more at the following links:
