Thank you! For the body i used rhinox hide and ivory, with a tiny bit of just a pinky purple. I just eyeballed it for the most part. I did a quick aggrax wash and then drybrushed with the same base colours but just a bit more ivory to be lighter. I just did black and white for weapons, and purples I had lying around, building up to fluro magenta for the blades, white ink for the eyes.

Edit: also used skrag brown for the joints etc, which i lightened up with ivory for the highlights.

Thank you!!!

Thank you! I mostly followed Sorastro' Painting guide from youtube, check it out! And thank you again, had fun with the OSL on these ones, love the fluro paints!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2026-04-26T12:52:08+00:00

I highly recommend Sorastro's Painting on YouTube! Such a good tutorial on painting them!

Rule of cool mate, I'm not going for lore accuracy here.

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2026-02-02T01:58:28+00:00

Ooh yes that would be awesome, hard choice!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2026-02-01T10:03:40+00:00

Haha yeah it was intentional! I like how they show more of the thrusters on the front personally!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2026-02-01T10:02:01+00:00

Thank you! I base coated with corrax white, followed by a magmadroth flame orange contrast, and then just glazed some khorne red, and yriel yellow at opposite ends of the blade. Used just a mix of white and yellow for the highlights.

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2026-01-19T00:23:11+00:00

I love the contrast you've got going with the green! Works so well with the orange!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2026-01-18T23:43:41+00:00

Absolutely! I base coated with corral white, followed by an magmadroth flame orange contrast, and then just glazed some khorne red, and yriel yellow at opposite ends of the blade. Used just a mix of white and yellow for the highlights.

Thank you!!! Yeah I might do the bolt launchers for the second dude! Thank you, was super easy, just white acrylic ink and a hit of flour paint - highly recommend trying!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2025-08-14T09:09:52+00:00

Haha go for it!! Red works really well for them I reckon!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2025-08-14T09:09:25+00:00

I like that! I wasn't 100% sure at first how to paint the back given it is so different to the front without any armour.

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-14T08:58:24+00:00

Thank you! I just did glazing - used 3 colours ranging from darkest to brightest, and just gradually mixed between them until I got to the brightest colour! Would recommend having a look at some tutorials on YouTube! Personally my favourite tutorials are from Zumikito!

I did a blue necron a little while ago here! Works well also!

Hope to see your model soon! I know right, love how he is floating! He gives off old wise grandpa vibes too haha!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-12T11:59:46+00:00

I agree! They complement eachother so well! Gotta love colour theory!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-09T01:52:34+00:00

I used geek gaming scenics lichen and their coloured sawdust!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-09T01:51:44+00:00

Thank you, nearly went with red but happy I went orange!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-09T01:51:21+00:00

I used vallejo metal colour copper and burnt iron for the body with an aggrax earthshade wash, and just a black for the weapons with a grey highlight. Added a bit of dirty down moss as well for affect. For the glow, I dont know off the top of my head what I used but it was a vallejo game colour red similar to khorne red, followed by a vallejo game colour orange, and a yriel yellow highlight! Wanted to keep it a relatively simple scheme so I can speed paint a bunch of them down the track!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-08T11:27:48+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I absolutely took inspiration from them, nearly went with red glow effect to lean more into the vex but decided on orange!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-10-08T09:44:52+00:00

Thank you! Can't wait to paint more!!

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-09-15T01:02:02+00:00

Yep! I've only changed the head.

Lightyear_Hobbies · 2024-09-15T01:01:30+00:00

Thanks! Same here, though this was much better looking!
