My space marine chapter painting tutorial

Here is a quick guide for my space marine chapters paint job. I will get into their background and there name in another post.
As with my other painting tutorial, most of the paints used are the old gw ones. As I run out I replace them with colors from the vallejo game color range.

Space marines/characters, terminators, etc.
They are all assembled without arms and weapons in most cases. In some cases without their backpacks as well.

Step 1: Base coated with Vallejo grey primer
Step 2: Base color of GW's scab red
Step 3: Wash the model in Gw's Leviathan Purple
Step 4: Paint details (staps, belts, etc) in gw's Chaos black
Step 5: Shoulder edges, eyes and some random detailing/armor done in Gw's Burnished gold
Step 6: Guns are done in the same order as miniatures
Step 7: Power weapons are painted as follows
Step 7-1: On grey primer Gw's tentacle pink is used
Step 7-2: then gw's Leviathan purple is used to taste
Step 7-3:  Handles are painted using Gw's chaos black and burnished gold
Step 8: Base the model

Tanks:
the rhino were assembled with all but the pieces that close up the top (the doors and whatever the turret things are called). They were painted separately.

Step 6-1: Do a wash of Gw's devilan mud and then badab black

Basing of models and iconography for shoulders and tanks will be done once I figure out how to make the decals.
