Alright, I said I would keep an update on my genestealers progress... Finally got the flesh pieces done. Here you go!

very striking work, especially on the knuckles.

I quite like the look of black 'stealers. Obviously needs something else, highlighting etc but yeah i like black and purple! lol


What colour are you using , sorry if i missed a previous post sayin what you were going to do.

Ill agree with MGS the knuckles and the side of the face look really sharp!

Looks good. Doing anything for the carapaces or just leaving them black?

the Genestealers are going to take a smiliar look to my termagaunt proto-type...

Nice work. I like the color scheme

Looking very nice indeed, keep it up

Alright like I said, I would keep you guys updated on my progress. Now unfortunatly I would have like to get more painted on them. But I have been working a consistant 54hrs each week. So yeah, hopefully I get a break in the near future.

Those look very good. Very urky, not the bright shiney aliens that GW puts forward. These look much more like the intergalactic menace.

I think it needs more shading

Doesn't look too far off of my Genestealers for Hive Fleet Verhoenid:

Wow, I really like how the purple stands out on the model.

Do you find painting the fleshy bits before painting the rest of the model better or worse than painting them after the skin is painted?

illuknisaa - I havent added my highlights to the skin yet. be patient.. =D been working alot of hours at work. and I want to show the step-by-step process.

Altimera - Yes, I find that painting on the flesh bits is much easier for me, because I do base coat lich purple, then highlight with warlock purple, then top it off with tentacle pink. That would be a little hard doing that after the fact.

Thank you all for the comments I should have my next set of pics up with the highlights and such. Keep in an eye out for this post.
