More highlights on the red, but i LOVE IT! The carapace is boss..

**luminousplumz**

The camera flash has hidden alot of the highlights and i have already been over with another coat of baddab black since the photos were taken.
Glad you like the Carapace

The carapace is a white primer followed by bleach bone all over, then snake skin leather(i think its an old ork colour) for the small brown marks and also a watered down leather to give lighter marks. Then finally 3-4 selective area washes with sepia wash..

nice colour scheme, the red is quite intense. Might be worth layering it down a bit more. Love the carapace effect though!

**KingCracker**

Yea those are some awesome nids. I really like the carapace, kindda cheetah looking

**Mr Nobody**

Really cool looking. Looks a little weird on the spore cysts though.
