Warhammer 40,000 · Chaos Space Marines
Sons of Malice (Chaos Space Marines) Paint List for Warhammer 40,000
Black and white in quartered panels, a graphic scheme for a minor Chaos god. The split has to be clean, because there is nowhere for a sloppy edge to hide.
Two strictly black and white halves — the dividing line is what it all rests on. Masking tape mandatory.
Recommended undercoat
