I found one that is much better then the one that GW has, and it has a much higher level of detail to it, you can even do halved and quartered schemes in it, as a demonstration I did my own Chapter and Erus' Black Saints

edit:....which don't seem to want to show up.....oh well you can at least take screenshots of them

Its a nice way of getting the colours straight in your head....

On the uk GW site there's a painter for SM, IG and I think Eldar.

just a note though, the GW one is a piece of crap: the colors are off and the metals aren't actually metals.

the bolter and chainsword one mentioned above is infinitely better, but the downsides are that it's slow and you need hexadecimal...but i'm not complaining! :]

yea my colors are in my signature, above cag's SN banner :]

Isn't there a painting bit in Dawn of War? You can customize the way your Marineboyz look.

yes, but it's even worse then the GW one, you only have control of 5 or 6 colors placed randomly around your Marine.

This one now also has wargear options. Not extensive, and you have to save the image form the window where it pulls up (link never works), but if you check my last WIP, you'll see the results.

We're actually in the beginning stages of making our own SM painter, and the CSM version is coming up!
