Today we are going to paint a Clone Trooper from the 212th Assault Battalion. This is another easy painting tutorial, a little more complicated than the droids but still very easy.
Step 1: Prime the Clone Trooper white. you can use whatever white primer you like. Based this miniature using a white car primer from poundland.

Step 6: Once the gryph hound orange was dry i used the games workshop layer paint, troll slayer orange, to block out and lighten the markings of the 212th.

Step 7: I used a green and blue paint to pick out the small buttons on the wrist. You can use any colours to do this.

Step 8: I used coat d arms red brock to paint the base.
Once dry I used geek gaming mas earth basing materials to base the miniature.
