"Do you wanna live forever?" Iconic words from an iconic sci-fi film and a firm favourite here in the Academy. In this tutorial, we show you how to paint a custom colour scheme for your Cadian Army (Astra Militarum) for Warhammer 40,000 inspired by the seminal sci-fi classic, Starship Troopers! We'll show you how to paint the colour scheme of Rico's Roughnecks or Roughnecks 2 - 0 from start to finish and we'll through a few quotes a long the way. See if you can spot them all and don't forget to LIKE and SUBSCRIBE so we can take the fight to the Bugs!
