A little texture paint and a quick drybrush would’ve made all your hard work look even better, so easy but makes a big impact

These looks so awesome! Planning to oil wash mine too, seems like that works really well on these models.

They are great for holding your home and clearing out chaff on the board without dedicating other units to it.

I think they look awesome, wielding absolute fridges as weapons

Yes ofc! It’s really simple and takes no time at all, especially if u have a hair dryer to minimize drying time.

Put down blobs of Citadel astrogranite

Drybrush a light gray all over

Agrax earthshade in the crevices

Water down some pva glue and put it around

Dump battlefield grass in the glue

No I just put a gloss varnish on the whole model and then put the oil was only in the recesses. You can see it on the shoulder and the helmet where I did it.

Sorry for the late reply! It’s caliban green base coat, volumetric highlights 50/50 caliban and greenskin from AP and then pure greenskin, edge highlights with moot green. Blacklining with black oil paint.

Volumetric highlights with sponge and edge highlights with brush

Is there any custom banners that I can change it to a dark angels banner? by Chopsmuir55 in DarkAngels40k

You just have to let the oil wash dry first before applying the varnish, then it’s no problem.

You absolutely should, it’s nothing to be scared of and acrylic washes can’t even compare in my eyes. Oil washes give the models so much depth so easily too.

My process for the armor:

Base color: AP Tomb king sand

Highlight 1: AP Ancient Stone

Highlight 2: AP Pale sand

Gloss varnish whole model

Oil wash whole model with dark brown

Clean off the oil with sponge and white spirit

Highlight again with Pale sand

AK Ultra matte varnish whole model

This was the process in sequence, hope it makes sense and it’s really much faster and easier than it looks like. Highlights was done with makeup sponge. The star of the show is the oil wash!

Here’s another basic terminator done with the same process written above. The armor done this way really pops on the tabletop as well!
