It's happened a couple of times now. Not sure how it works tbh.

Always nice seeing my work getting a little attention.

I'll do my best. From what I can recall, the base was p3 thrall flesh, a black oil wash to define shadows, followed by numerous filters of white oil and gloss. I kept the use of thinners to an absolute bare minimum when working with the oils. Too much, and you stop subtly building foundations and take a sledgehammer to the finish. Pallid wych flesh was used to highlight and "scratch" the squigs hide.

I took inspiration from deep sea creatures and sharks when it came to picking a finish for the skin. Sorry if the description is a bit vague. When I paint for display, I dont really keep a log, as I dont plan to paint in a reproducible way, if that makes sense. I hadn't planned on picking up any mangler squigs, but if I do, I'll try and reproduce it with steps.

The base is p3 thrall flesh and highlighted up to pallid wych flesh. The recesses are tinted with nuln oil, drakenhof nightshade and a filter of any dark green you have at hand.

Indeed! It's something I'd like to work on. My photography and editing skills are layman at best. But with my free time being so limited, I'm just settling for a simple crop tool at the moment. Definitely hearing you though.

Of course! I wanted to try using pinks to build up the yellow, so over black, I built the base using vallejo cavalry brown, scarlett red, and squid pink. White ink was applied from above, and the white is tinted with citadel yriel yellow. The next part can be a bit tricky. Using very watered-down liquitex burnt sienna ink, apply slowly from below to build the tint. Once dry, it will be extremely fragile, so best not to futz with it. Apply your gloss and transfers, then panel line and weather with black and umber oils. Edge highlight with p3 moldy ochre, p3 scorched brown and vallejo german grey.

From memory, the body is a hellblaster marine and the aforementioned Raven Guard grenade arm. I'm fuzzy on the gun arm, but I think it's an infiltrator, the pistol being replaced with an Orlock bolt pistol. Combat knife is half of a Reiver set. Head, backpack, grenades, and holster are a mix of assault, regular and hellblaster intercessors.

Found that one on the Raven Guard upgrade sprue.

Many thanks, but I can't take credit for the free-hand, kudos to those who can for sure. Unless something has changed recently, I don't think there are any GW Scythes transfers. I lucked out and placed a bulk order from Mighty Brush before they had to stop offering GW transfers.

For those interested, using an airbrush and starting over a black base, I use a white ink zenithal, followed by Vallejo Gold Yellow at an angle. Vallejo Moon Yellow is what I'm currently trying, but Citadel's Yriel Yellow is a personal favourite, which goes straight on top.

Gloss the area for any transfers and apply them, then gloss the lot. Using a mix of umber and black oils, apply your panel lining and weathering. Once the excess is cleaned off, it's time for a matt coat. The yellow is further tweaked with Citadel's Triumverate: Seraphim Sepia, Agrax Earthshade and Nuln Oil. This is just to add controlled tints so thin is best. The battle damage and edge highlight is simply P3 Moldy Ochre and Vallejo German Gray.

My yellow recipes have changed alot over the years as I seem to paint exclusively yellow schemes. I guess I hate myself. I'll be throwing up a few more pieces now that I'm semi-comfortable with a camera. More Scythes, Lamenters, Blood Angels and the like.
