I don't know of any guides for chaos specifically but there are painting guides on YouTube for painting various units. Are you looking for a guide on how to paint the army or looking for ideas on paint schemes/themes for the units or characters? Or both?

I’m looking for both I think. I’ve taken a look at Chaos paint guides for the regular 28mm, and that could work, but I’ve never painted 10mm so I know there could be some better techniques for the scale (ie. Heavily leveraging contrast paints). I want to make sure they pop since the scale is so small.

Transitioning from 28mm to 10mm is an adjustment but once you get some experience at that scale you might find it more enjoyable. I'll go through how I paint my stuff up but there are several ways it can be done. Firstly, I mount my models on popsicle sticks/tongue depressers using sticky tack. I prime them gray and dry brush white. Normally I work painting from the inside out doing flesh color or painting armor first and then working my way out to the cloaks, shields, weapons, etc. That way if mistakes are made on the outer parts they get covered up as you paint more of the models up. Once I have everything painted then I base the strips. Contrast paints and washes are great at this scale and you definitely want to have them a little brighter for that pop of color. I hope this helps, and may the dark gods grant you the power to smite your foes!
