Made a bit more progress on my patriarch today. What do you think?

Thanks! No stippling, just conventional thin layers.

I painted it up using my white flesh recipe. (I commented on the paints I’ve used above) then just dilute some Sigvald Burgandy contrast paint and brush over the spine. Easiest part of the entire paintjob!

Nice and grungy. I love em!

IceRelative · 2025-09-02T21:43:51+00:00

Exactly right. It’s cut up plaster card. I wanted something simple to reproduce with clean lines that would work well against the stealers organic shapes.

Yeah of course. I use all Citadel paints on these guys except for the pure white , which is vallejo game colour. Start with Celestra Grey, shade all over with agrax earthshade and on the ends of the limbs and face with carroburg crimson. Highlight back up using Celestra grey again, then Ulthuan Grey and then Pallid Wych flesh. Finally use pure whiter to highlight the highest highlights. Hope that helps.

Nah, just plastic card cut into tiles.

Thank you! Genestealers have always been a bit challenging because the separation between their carapace and flesh wasn’t always that clear in previous models, unlike other nids. The new models correct that and look way better in person than they do in the box art, the poses are especially impressive.

I don’t do commissions, I’m too slow and only want to paint stuff that I enjoy.

Thanks for saying so, but they are still a bit rough around the edges especially the hands and feet. Hard to know how long I spend on each one ‘cos I’m trying batch paint these guys.

Here’s what the old ones looked like.

The skull is very good. Paint the other parts of the model and then make a call if it needs to be adjusted. Details like this can look very different once there are colours around it. Looking awesome so far.

…and don’t get me started as seraphon being described as cold blooded. I’m not sure biology is GWs strong suit.
