Ready-made faction scheme pages
Space Marine paint scheme generator
Pick a Chapter above and the generator builds its whole ramp, or set your own armour colour and it will do the same for a successor Chapter that has never had an official scheme. Every Chapter below has a ready-made one.
Eldar paint scheme generator
A craftworld model is two flat colours in hard contrast plus one glowing spiritstone, so the craftworlds are one recipe with the armour changed - Biel-Tan green, Ulthwé black, Saim-Hann red, Iyanden yellow, Alaitoc blue. Set the armour colour and the generator does the rest.
About this generator
Plan, test and tweak a full painting scheme - pick a Space Marine Chapter, any other faction, or any colour, and get the armour ramp plus metals, skin, leather, lenses, basing and each faction's signature accents (rust, gauss glow, warpflame…) - every colour matched to real paints from Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter, Scale75 and a dozen more miniature ranges.
Common questions
Is there a Space Marine colour scheme generator?
Yes — pick any Space Marine Chapter above, or set your own armour colour, and this tool builds the full base-to-highlight paint recipe for it: armour ramp, trim, lenses and basing, matched across Citadel, Vallejo, Army Painter and more, with dated prices.
What colours make a good Necron paint scheme?
Necron dynasties read as a metallic bone or gunmetal chassis with a bright gauss-glow accent — set that colour above, or see the ready-made recipe at /schemes/necrons.
