Legio Tempestus Paint Recipe

This page captures the paint recipe for my Legio Tempestus Titans for Adeptus Titanicus. Legio Tempestus originates on Mars and will use a basing scheme fitting for the red planet.  I use many paints from Vallejo, P3, Secret Weapon Miniatures and The Army Painter, so it helps me to catalog the final recipe here so I will be able to add models over time without forgetting the exact choices.
