Painting Your Skitarii

To bring your Mechanicum forces to life, Citadel paints are the perfect choice for achieving rich metallics and ominous Martian tones. Popular color suggestions include:

• Leadbelcher / Iron Warriors for mechanical armor
• Mephiston Red / Khorne Red for classic Martian cloaks and details
• Abaddon Black for cables, weapons, and joints
• Agrax Earthshade / Nuln Oil for shading and depth
• Runefang Steel for edge highlights and worn metal effects

Whether you prefer a clean forge-world look or a battle-worn aesthetic, this set rewards careful painting with striking results.

Command the machine legions, dominate the battlefield, and let the will of the Omnissiah be done.
