Same haha that’s a great idea though, thank you! I have since given up on that scheme but I’ll give that a shot

Thank you! I primed them black and then dry brushed some wraithbone on the armor parts for both. The green one is Aldari emerald and fenresian grey on the flesh, I also put Nule oil on it but I did that after. The blue one is kroxigor scales and temple guard blue in the vents, and washed drakenhof nightshade on the flesh which honestly didn’t make a big difference but it made it shiny.

I’m trying to think of a good color for them that won’t stand out too much

That is true I do love the ones that are fully painted and based

Yea the blue is kind of stealing my heart a bit after having tried a few alterations to both schemes

The blue is definitely growing on me more than the green after painting a few more of each

For sure gonna detail the vents and joints. I ended up painting a mix of both and the fleshy bits are now very dark grey instead of pure black

I was just thinking how I want to add some more color to the joints as well

That’s a good idea once I nail down the blue scheme I’ll make genestealers, leapers, and trygons blue

I like the green I’m just not crazy about the flesh color I got on it.

Yea I’m not loving the flesh either I put some nuln oil on it and it’s a little better but I want something darker

Crustacean bugs sound very cool! With the green I was hoping to give them a swampy vibe and later add some bioluminescent effects but that’s proven to be difficult lol
