I agree, Ogryin flesh on the skin and devlin mud on the metal and it will be good to go.

Im regards to the pink, its hard to tell as the pic is quite "warm" so the exact colour is hard to tell!

Keep up the good work and post some progress.


PS my paints are far more untidy!

Heres a guy on the Privateer press forums that has done an entire Cryxian force in bright pink and made it look really good.

This is a link to his color recipe, but you ought to look at his profile for his model pics.
Pink never looked so nice.

Sorry, the pics really aren't great for a discussion about colour.
The first and last are in focus so you seem to be on the right track.
Try taking the photos next to a window in the daytime(not direct sunlight just lots of natural light) that way we will get to see the true colour.
Place a sheet of white or off white paper behind the model to avoid the colours on the model 'reacting' with those in the background.
I'll pass judgement until I see better pics.
It does seem neatly painted at the moment.

great work on that pink armour perhaps a wash levithium purple then reapply the pink colour. or you could just try a wash of a watered down 1:1 mix of warlock and tentacle. hope it helps and for the record dont diss pink!!!! hail slaanesh!!!!!!!!

YES the "PAINT BAG" rocks and LOL @ p4nc4k3's disaster of a paint box. You get your paint done so no matter.

ROZE. First thing first. Better pix for better C&C.

1. light- take in daylight when you can or with a lamp and true white bulb.

2. I bet the blur was because you zoomed in and the movement from pressing the button made everything "teleport". Tripod+timer = no motion blur. No tripod? No problem. Mini on table, camera on table+ timer= win.

All the paint comments about doing the pink are right on. Keep up the pink greatness!

Try putting your model on black cloth. Pin the cloth to a wall and let it drape down onto a table. I'd reckon that would help.

Wow, the paint scheme looks great, but with the massive brow ridges and flat head, I'm wondering if the sculptor knew he was supposed to be making space-elves. It looks more like an emaciated monkey.

It's hard to make a terrible model look good, and that is a godawful model, especially the face.

The paint job is helping a ton, but don't worry if you can't get it to look the way you hoped, unless your willing to shave off it's face and rebuild a paintable version :(

Yea that looks pretty damn good. I really hope they decide to keep DE because they not only look cool on a table but its fun smashing their heads in.
That being said your painting is looking pretty good.
