The Scythes of the Emperor were almost wiped out by the Tyranids but they survived and have become a fan favourite Chapter in the Warhammer 40,000 universe. Oh, and they did make an exciting but short appearance in the Astartes 2 trailer which would explain the large amount of requests we've had. In this full and in-depth quality tutorial, we show you how to paint this chapter from start to finish including a great way to paint yellow (which has a reputation of being tough to do)!

We hope you all enjoy this one.

Cheers
Dunc, Rog & the DRPA team!
