Hey guys!

A few weeks back I posted my DE here, well my first one I ever painted. I'm going for a metallic dirty green themed DE and so far I'm super happy with the way stuff is turning out. Here is an "okay" quick pic of my new venom i just finished. The varnish is barely dry, and I put up the first dark eldar kabalite warrior I ever painted, in it along for the ride. My first thought after painting this stuff was Predator. Let me know what you guys think and I have a full Kabalite squad painted as well that Ill post up in the next few days. Next up is 5 man scourge squad and Haemonculus, and wyches + 2 other venoms.

The lighting is kind of bad but the gems turned out really nice. They arent all yelow like the pics show, they are a mix of moot green with yellow highlights with a little white to give the glass effect. I wanted the window black because there is some black in my force, so to make it more "windowy" I painted a coat of 'ardcoat after the varnish on the cockpit window, plus on the gems for the glassy effect.

Looks great! I like the colour, and those gems do look really bright and shiny!

That green is awesome!! What paint did you use for that?

Looks like green glaze over metallic silver.

Colour is really nice, I don't get a predator theme but that not an insult may you can elaborate on that if you like the idea with maybe black meshwork and orange/beige discord.
