OK, So I've not posted anything for a while, but I've a lot of WIP's and I don't like to put unfinished stuff up..

I've mounted him on the larger base and given him so more Ammunition and a 'Weapon Loader' in the form of a nasty squig. Any comments are welcome.

That's nice! I like it. The squig's pretty cool.

**KingCracker**

Holy cow. You should put that on the gallery so we can vote on it. How the hell did you get the glowy green balls on there to look...er well glowy?

**Valkyrie**

I love the little squig and the grot loaders.

**TheKellector**

Awesome work! How long did it take?

That amazing work. Much better than the one I posted a while back. Very good.

The Green ‘Glowy’ is really easy to do. The ball is undercoated black, and then painted Dark Angel Green. I’ve then got a 50/50 mix of Dark Angel Green / Snot Green and feathered this on from where the cable bit plugs in, to about ¾ across the ball. Feathering is a bit like drybrushing, but leave more paint on the brush the you would normally. I used the new Stipple brush for this. I made sure the was a gap of DA Green next to the cable. On the other side of the ball, there is like a metal ‘pip’. I put a thickish line around this.

Repeated the above, but with Snot Green, but now feathering it ½ way across, and a thinner line at the other side onto of the thick line.

Repeat above with 50/50 Snot Green / Scorpion Green.

Finally, Scorpion green. Once I’ve matt varnished the model, I’ll gloss varnish the balls, then they’ll really glow.

Lovely work. The red on the gun really pops, and the glowy balls are superb.
