    Need advice painting Lomghorn space marines

    I have a small group of space marines that will soon become a orange and white longhorn chapter. Anyone have ideas for the best way to achieve a burnt orange look? Closer to tue university of Texas longhorns orange the better.

    While it is only sort of helpful as the volume is quite high, Lowes (the hardware store) can make the paint for you (in likely no less than 1 quart size but probably a gallon).

    I have no idea how house paint would perform on miniatures, but you can at least get the real color that way.

    Also Captain Brown and Chapter Master Dodds get the stealth USR because we haven't been caught with crap.
