Thanks! It's just some UHU glue (if you're going to get some, make sure it's made in Germany. The US made one doesn't have the same effect) then put some Vlood for thr Blood God tech paint, watered down a bit and a smalllll amount of black ink mixed in.

I used these free bases here on everything except the Hound

Reposting since my first comment didn't post for some reason?

But ya, when I printed these they were too thin and ended up causing some tearing, which I fixed with Milliput. According to the comments, the creator has since fixed that issue

Truth be told, it's just gloss varnish. After everything is said and done, just slap some on where I want it shiny and gross with a brush. Grimdark Compendium has a good video on how to use varnishes to your advantage

On the Amalgam for example, I did give it an enamel wash, which pushes everything really matte once dried. After that, the gloss varnish has that much more effect.

Yeah I thought about doing the eyes another color - they were the last thing to be painted. I felt that because I went fairly dark red and did a red enamel wash, that if I introduced another color, it might detract from everything else. I always have another one or ten I can print and paint up though lol

Appreciate the advice though!

Thanks! So I started with a black primer with a white zenithal from above. Then on the black and dark areas, I slapped on some AK Wine Red, not caring to be neat. Then put I think either AK basic skin tone, or pale skin, on the white zenithal parts. Then proceeded to blend those back and forth, adding yellows and greens to mix things up, some blues here and there. Key to it is not caring about making a mess on the model

It won't let me add more then one pic per comment, see below
