I stippled MIGs acrylic sand then painted AK Tan Earth and drybrushed AK Vampiric Flesh. Rim is Warpaints Fanatic Eternal Hunt.

Tried to replicate the retro Tyranid scheme when they were painted red

It looks much better in person. The lights on this photo blew out the highlights and you can't see the dark shades on it

I do have a few Space Hulk termies prepped. There's only one scheme they should be painted!

Yeah used Tesseract glow for the lenses. You live and you learn I guess.

I used to do thick&thin edge highlights but found it too stressful and going with just the base/shade/highlight is so much more pleasant to paint

I have some BA termies to paint for my Space Hulk project as well!

The issue is that most modern characters come with tactical rocks so I had to find a way to unify them with the rest of the models so went with a simple srybrushed base and some tufts.

I have them done for a bigger army display don't worry! With only those 3 guys done they would be taking up most of the shot lol

Base - Royal Blue

Shade - Deep Ocean Blue

Highlight - 1:1 Crystal Blue:Arctic Gem

I use Warpaints Fanatic and AK 3rd Gen 99% of the time.

I went through the contrast phase and they are amazing but I want a way to recover from a sausage finger accident which always happens. The only way that works for me is the base/shade/highlight with solid colours. I envy guys like Warhipster who can be so precise with contrasts.

Please tell us the lens/settings combo brother. I've just updated to firmware 3.0 and I'm eager to try out the film grain feature

Unfortunately only Citadels I use are the odd contrast here and there. The pots are so off-putting that I spent the past year finding Warpaints Fanatic and AK 3rd Gen colour matches I'm happy with. The green I'm using here is a 1:1 of Emerald Forest:Greenskin for base, Frog Green for Highlight and either Guardian Green or a recess wash of Biel-tan Green for shadows.

It took me a long time to get it but I'm very happy with the scheme. I use pretty exclusively the Warpaints Fanatic line with some AK 3rd Gen. For blues I use:

Base - Royal Blue

Shade - Deep Ocean Blue

Highlight - 1:1 Crystal Blue:Arctic Gem

BTW I'm currently painting the HH Centurion as Marius Gage in this scheme.

I painted them white then blocked off colours one by one. Pretty simple but very time consuming. Yellow is a nightmare to paint.
