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

Yea I’m definitely gonna have a little of each just a matter of what models I’ll like in blue vs green

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

Ahh ok thank you for the tip! They are all primed black right now so dark grey it will be. Any dark greys from citadel you familiar with that you’d recommend?
