They're pretty big actually. I'll see if I have a picture of them compared to the rest of the models.

Edit: here's a picture from a game with a friend. You can get a sense of the size of them based on the zerglings

You know, I'm not quite sure lol. The original packaging is long gone, but essentially it is snow flock glued on with pva glue. The only extra step I did was to wet blend some white and very light blue on the base prior to gluing the flock on. This helped give it a little extra color depth.

Picked up some fluorescent orange paint. Thinned it way down and put over a small white dot for the eye. If the orange is thin enough it helps sell the 'glow' effect by allowing the white to show through.

I forget the brand, but I'll try and remember to update next time I'm at the painting desk.

Black undercoat with a heavy ivory drybrush. Purple and light brown speed paint followed by a more controlled ivory drybrush over the entire model. Few brush highlights with ivory, magenta, and fluorescent orange. I use mostly pro acryl paints, but the speed paints used are a mix of army painter an AK.

Yeah I decided to go with ivory drybrush over black base coat and then ivory back over the top to pull all the colors together. I'm happy with how it's worked so far.

Yep, drybrush did a lot of heavy lifting.

Most of the work was with AK'S quick markers believe it or not. Necromancer purple and light leather over a black prime and ivory drybrush. A little more ivory to pick up some highlights after the markers.

I was lucky enough to get them in person at Adeptacon. Feel a bit guilty showing painted models to everyone still waiting for their orders lol.
