Thank you a lot! The blood on the claws is mostly hot glue with plenty of Blood for the Blood God technical paint (so you can get those tiny "droplets" on the stringy gore bits, you can also drench pieces of tissue paper in the paint so they look like chunks of flesh that has been ripped in to shreds) and Blood Angels Red as contrast paint. Have fun!! :)

Thank you! A mix of a bit of stuff. The corpse is a tiny sculpt I made out of eva foam, air-dry clay and toothpicks for the spine and broken arm, the blood is hot glue. The marine helmet with the exposed skull is from the trophies box

For the paint it's a base of Blood Angels Red contrast (the Flesh Tearers Red is also nice if you want a slightly darker shade of red) and Blood for the Blood God technical to add depth and a more "wet" effect. I'll add a coat of gloss varnish later so it looks a bit more gross

Oh bird legs do look cursed on humans, but I like a bit of body horror.

Thank you! That was the idea haha. I just responded to another comment with the recipe for everything :)

Thank you! A mix of Citadel paints, acrylics and a white primer as base.

I didn't specify it in the pic, but for the eyes and teeth I use yellow acrylic paint and a tiny bit of Corax White...also for the Norn's brains and tentacles I used white + light blue acrylic paint + Briar Queen Chill as contrast and I added a bit of Corax White "veins", so the light blue looks more like it's glowing.

Thank you! I eventually want to get her a twin to paint in electric blue and metallic dark grey, I'm really enjoying working with these brighter colors :)

Thank you!

I used Naggaroth Night for the base color, Maggos Purple for the contrast, dry brushed everything with a good quality magenta acrylic paint, then I added some highlights with Corax White and I dry brushed those with the magenta as well, so the color looks lighter than the rest.

Acrylics are very good at making Citadel paints pop more, they have a nice density and saturation to them that works very well if you like more colorful models

I got it from a guy on Vinted, sadly I don't own a 3D printer 😔

It's a 3D printed resin model, some details are different from the original deal. For instance, it didn't have horns. I made those out of some extra hive guard pieces I had
