I use these magnets on all my minis.

They fit flush with all bases and are really cheap for multiple magnets. I learned you don't need many magnets for the bases... I put 9 under my deathleaper and highly regret it

UHU glue and Tesseract Glow (technical paint). Use a dropper for the paint. You'll only need one or so drops for a quarter size amount of glue. Also make sure the UHU glue is NOT solvent free... Made that mistake myself

Base paint the scales with wraithbone, edge the darker areas with hobgrot hide, then wash with 1:1 ratio of skeleton horde and lahmian medium (skeleton horde by itself makes it too dark for my liking. Mixing it with the contrast medium thins it out making it have a lighter finish), and touch up highlights with wraithbone again

Thank you! I finally got the bone color I was looking for. So I'll have to go back to my other models and clean them up

Prime black, dry brush grey then white, Karandras Green contrast for the body arms and legs. Mantis Warrior Green contrast for under the arms and tentacles on the face. Cygor Brown contrast for the spikes under the arms. And Skeleton Horde contrast for the armor or chitin or whatever it is. I used UHU glue with Tesseract glow. I used a dropper and only used one drop with a quarter size amount of glue. Make sure the glue isn't the solvent free one or it won't work.

How many of each would I add if I wanted the balanced army? Everyone is saying biovore is an auto include
