A guide on how to paint an ultramarine from the chapter's 1st company

1. Undercoat the model with a spray of Chaos Black or any other black spray paint you may have. After this, apply Abaddon Black over the model to cover any places you may have missed.
2. Basecoat the blue armour with Macragge Blue . Don't worry if you go over onto other parts of the model as these will all be painted over later
3. Wash the model with Nuln Oil . This will darken down the blue armour and significantly darken the recesses of the armour.
4. Layer some thinned Macragge Blue onto the armour, keeping away from the recesses. This brightens the blue slightly but feel free to skip this step for a slightly darker Ultramarine.
5. Drybrush the model with Calgar Blue . Practise on the model's weapons or base to make sure you're happy with the amount coming off the brush.
6. Lightly drybrush the model with Fenrisian Grey . Use even less paint than previously
7. Paint the black details with Black Legion . These are the weapon casings and mesh underarmour.
