I have stuck to covering the terrain pieces only in this guide. If you are interested in how I painted the individual miniatures, resource cache or the "Doom Pile", these will have their own guides available. How I approached painting the terrain and accessories included in this starter set.
Here is my recipe for Saurus Warriors. I went the direction of the box art, but wanted the color to be a bit darker/muted.
In this recipe I'll explain how I found a decent way to create highlights for beginners without needing a steady hand
this requires to blend or at least create some tone of transitions between thousand sons blu, or a little darker, and phoenician purple
Here is how I painted my first attempt at a Crimson Fists Space Marine
Tyranid Custom Hive Fleet Paint Scheme.
This custom Hive Fleet is still a work in progress, and remains unnamed for now.
Don't follow this for now, this is just my note keeping but I will update it later :)
Here is how I paint the main components of the armour for my Tome Keepers Space Marine Kill Team. A video guide is available on my YouTube channel.
This recipe should be good for bone on 3D printed models which have quite heavy detail or those printed in bright colours. On a model with finer details you could skip the black undercoat and start straight from wraithbone.
extremely simple pink for people who hate mixing but can glaze or use an airbrush somewhat (me)
This method uses Citadel Contrast paints as a "base coat" for Infinity models (inspired by the work of The Tabletop Artist on Youtube). I then work my way up using regular layering and highlighting. Typically the first layer is lighter in value, but sometimes not because of how contrast paint behaves (very light higlights and very dark recess shading).
Rough steps for my reference. I will change and refine as I go.

Painting horns and bones for the Death Guard legion.
The painting processes contains a lot of glazing, so remember to thin your paints down enough for smooth transitions.
Hints:
- Use a good medium to thin your paints down like Contrast or Lahmian Medium. I don't recommend water, because it breaks up the pigmets too much for my taste.
- glaze (very thinned paint) the bones from bottom to the top, applying multiple thinned layers while getting closer to the top.
- mix colors for even smoother transitions
