Kyle's Chaos Marines - Slaves to Darkness
Warhammer 40,000 - Chaos Space Marines - Paint Guide
Chaos Space Marines
Kyle took inspiration from the aesthetic of the Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness faction for this squad - a classic, simple to execute look that's hard not to admire. Dark iron metal armour, tinny tin trim, and a deliberately unsettling collection of horns, skulls, and glowing eyes. Let's jump into it.

We have this conversation at the counter regularly, and it is never a simple one to answer.

How Do I Know If My Paint Is the Right Consistency?

TL;DR
Thin your paint. For brush painting with water-based acrylics, water is all you need - no special product required. Aim for the consistency of milk. If your paint is dragging, streaking, or filling in detail, it is too thick. Add water, test on the palette, repeat until it flows cleanly. That is ninety-five
