Dark Angels Paint Recipe

Dark Angels Assault Intercessors

For my Dark Angels, I primarily follow the stock GW paint job.  However, I substituted enough third party paint colors that I felt it was worth capturing the full recipe here to be sure I am consistent with the army as I paint other components over time. 

UPDATE: I have switched to using primarily Pro Acryl colors and I list those as an option where used.

Primer: Vallejo Surface Primer Black (74.602)

Final seal coat: Model Master Lusterless (Flat) lacquer (Now OOP)/Testors Dullcote Clear Lacquer.
