I'm painting up some nids with a brown carapace and bleached bone skin washed with gryphonne sepia

I need a colour for the scythes though. Does anyone have any idea what to do them with? I basically want the colour to match with the brown. Its scorched brown so its dark.

On a side note does anyone know how to make the carapace look nicer? At the moment i am only detailing it with bestial brown.

ok. with the carapace. base with scorched, then go 50-50 with bestial, then bestial (if you want bestial) then like the codes, do strokes on the carapace.

scythes............ go with khemri brown, blend/layer with additions of graveyard earth then rotting flesh.

wanna see photos.......
