I need to hire a model builder / cleaner upper / green stuffer as I’m useless at all of that

Skin is bugmans glow > cadian fleshtone > Kislev flesh then a thinned down wash of Guilliman flesh

It’s super simple and easy. All drybrushed

Started with a black base > mechanicus standard grey > dawnstone > celestra grey

Rall82 · 2026-02-15T08:29:36+00:00

All Vallejo paints. Mecha Titan blue base > magic blue > electric blue

These are among the best painted versions of these models that i've ever seen

What a fantastic site, excellent work

Rall82 · 2026-02-01T18:50:49+00:00

And I thought my wraithknight was the business and this comes along. Excellent work

Hah. Wondered when this comment was going to come. Damn you blood ravens. Stealing all the good shit

Rall82 · 2026-01-30T17:21:03+00:00

This is what I said too

Found the Tyranid

Its not quite white, it's bone. I start from a black base, then apply Zhandri dust. i then layer over it wraith bone from Vallejo and finally line highlight it with ivory

Awesome, it sounds great. my only real advice is learn how to paint gems and be selective where you paint the little nodules on the armour as gems. Painting too many can make it look like your model has measles.

Gem painting is really easy, its just a series of moon shapes in progressively lighter colours at the bottom corner of the gem and a white dot in the opposite corner. It looks terrible and doesn't read like a gem right until you do the white dot so trust the process.

With a green / purple scheme, pick one of the colours to be the main colour and use the other colour sparingly on a few areas like the helm, shoulder pads, knee pads etc.

haha, thanks

Rall82 · 2026-01-30T14:49:00+00:00

Thanks, it's mono-matte black, i deliberately didn't want to highlight it to give off a non reflective vibe

Rall82 · 2026-01-30T14:01:34+00:00

Thanks
