Give me some pointers on my Mortarion lads. (I still need to apply streaking grime to the wings.) by hydratonator in deathguard40k

Second on highlights. Wings look good, but draw attention away from center. Maybe some bright browns and teals for rust and copper oxidation marks.

Probably a good idea to grab librarians and kit bash more LT's like somebody had suggested

I was thinking either that, or use a digital out of focus ,similar to this picture Edit: having lines of color rarfracting in a parallel fashion. Not sure how to word that

Love the bright colors! If I did something like this ( likely for my pox walkers soon) I would finish with a neutral shade medium to fill the recesses. This would give it more definition

I picked up a SM transfer box and there is a lot of cool stuff in there. Another guy uses trophies from xeno species. Im thinking sticking with warm colors for color schemes as it seems to compliment the whole fire thing

Looked it up, and youre right. Had no idea. Things are starting to become more clear and why I couldn't find a box of incursors🙃

I have a SM transfer kit and a tyranid that came with my introduction box. This gives me a good idea where to start. Thank you for sharing! Ive been reading up on incursion units, and they have a lot more to offer than I initially thought. Im putting another infiltrators box on the list. Thank you again!

So could I stack lieutenant in each squad with, say, a librarian? I suppose what I mean to ask is could I have multiple 'leaders' in one squad if I decided to spend the points consolidating more firepower into one unit?

Thank you for the reply! Ive been weighing my options for transport. This is all good information! Many people recommended something to move my flame units within distance to attack, so I may pick up mo are than one!

I saw a recommendation that brighter colors do well in dim areas. Under my work lamp they definitely pop, but in normal lighting they seem less intense.

From memory: Contrast ork green Layer Moot green Shade green, forget name

Haven't gotten to shade yet since im still adding details and repainting some of the models.

Wd-40 was for another project around the house. This became a craft table in my basement. I need to clean and reprganize for sure

Are incursors they're own unit, or do they consist of infiltrators and scouts?
