Unofficial Contrast-first recipes for the box you are buying, with colour swatches, paint shopping lists, and live kit floors when available. 78 character guides and 21 faction hubs. Pick an army, paint the Combat Patrol, then expand.
Metal + one glow colour. One of the fastest 40K armies to table.
Contrast armour over Grey Seer. Chapter colour is the only hard choice.
Messy green skin and scrap metal. Contrast loves Orks.
Carapace and skin Contrast. Swarms batch-paint cleanly.
Green armour, heavy weathering. Spray primer saves hours.
Clean panels and gems. Slightly fiddlier than Marines.
Dark armour and pale skin. Raiders share the recipe.
Flat panels and sept marks. Suits reward patience.
Infantry spam with three colours. Tanks are drybrush jobs.
Black, red, and gold. Readable at arm's length.
Metal spray + red robes. The classic Mars look.
Black Legion gold trim. Same bones as loyalist Marines.
Blue and gold. Trim time is the real cost.
Red, brass, blood. Messy on purpose.
Pink and purple. Pick two accents and stop.
All-metal spray army. Tabards are the colour break.
Few models, gold spray. Each kit is a showcase.
Purple hybrids and work clothes. Neophytes batch well.
Grey armour and one League accent. Kin-scale infantry.
Small elite kits. Match accents to your allied army.
Single-colour flesh Contrast. Swap hue by Chaos God.
Detailed guides for Primarchs and centrepieces. Steps, swatches, YouTube links, and store buy lists. Sorted A to Z.
Open the faction paint hub for your army. Use the default Contrast recipe on the Combat Patrol first, then expand with the same colours.

No. These are unofficial fan recipes that name Citadel paints and kits as products. Sprue Sentry is not affiliated with Games Workshop.
Sprue Sentry tracks live floors for the kits you are about to paint when offers are available. Missing live prices stay labeled; buy only when a fair all-in price appears.
