hey guys i bought the Cryx starter box on saturday night as i wanted to get into warmachine got them painted in 2 days in evenings after finshing work but now im stuck on what to add to them next as i hav no idea what is good and what isnt :/ any advice will be brill pics of the band below wanted to paint them bit different from what i saw others painting them as

Nice look! They look so old and rusty, about to fall down broken in any moment!

My suggestion would be to paint the eyes and other areas where you painted green (like the small slits in the, well, dogs? torso) with another brighter green! It should provide a good contrast with the rusty, dirty, brown look. Gives a feeling of "Yeah, they look like gak, but they are functional, ready and willing to kill you".

Edit: In fact, even the cloak would be a good place. The green cloak already looks good, but with an extra highlight near the end it would really pop up. Like GW's Moot Green.

I agree with The DraconicLord. Though I REALLY do like the rust colour.

Oh dear, I hope it didn't sound like I didn't like the rust color Worry not OP, I too like it a lot, I just feel it needs that extra touch to make them look even better!

I know absolutely nothing about Warmahordes, just wanted to say I'm digging the rust color as well. Very good look.

Cheers for the feedback guys i was thinking the same maybe like a scorpion green hightlight and worked out a list now so order shall be placed for the rest of the army
