Excellent work on the hybrids, Weety.

Colourful little soldier types there.

Thanks Az and Dr H for bigging up the empire chappies. I reckon everyone else is waiting for genestealer hybrids, which is good cos they be nearly finished, dreckly. Monday at the latest!

The empire chappies are even better in person
how come you've not finished the hybrids yet ???

Love the washed out pink and blue of the Empire.

I like that blue-as-black look quite a bit! I will be trying that myself one of these days! Thanks!

Hello Dakka! Feels like I've been away awhile.

I said the genestealers would be ready by monday and it is a monday so...

Nice. Really top notch Hybrids

Thanks! Just the character models, purestrains and aberrants to do now.

Very nice skin tones on them Weets !

Cheers Mr Big H. I reckon what I need are some bigger pictures of these. Tomorrow I shall do this.

Nice job, Weety. Look great as a group.

Great looking genestealers

Am I the only one who thinks about a strange poker game when someone says (3armed genestealers hybrid)

Stranger things have happened theophany!

Those big pics I promised ya'll

Making a start on the deathwatch marines. Getting the black armour down first. Getting this shiny black is hard and needs many steps, but I'm commited to this technique now. It'll probably take forever.

Great looking Hybrids, Weety. I really like the skin tones you've achieved on them, especially the mottled effects. Well done!

Hybrids look amazing, loving the skin tones and blotches.

Interested to see how you do with the deep black, have tried this kinda thing, and failed. Patience being my downfall. Watching intently.

Well thanks chaps.

More work in progress, black is hard, it shows up any small lack of neatness. But I think its coming together slowly

A little progress on the patriarch... so fresh its still wet. Mostly took the photo to try and isolate any problems and come up with ideas. I feel maybe he is a bit too bright purple almost. He looks a bit like a blueberry. Might need to employ a little colour wheel thinking.

Next step;

Very nice work on these weety. I particularly like the salmon/red that offsets the colors that are closer together. Great work.

Perfect timing with the new spacehulk video game coming out with hybrids like those you did

Nice work, Weety, good progress.

Looks like the sculptor liked "that" tail scene from Alien, perhaps a little too much.

That blue-and-lavender scheme is classic Genestealer. I really like what you did with the exposed brain- very subtle.

Agreed. The Patriarch is lovely.

Nice work on Patriarch. He's looking great so far.

It's a classic scheme done well Weets ! If you still feel unsure perhaps try some little dot "mottling" around the colour change junctions ?

Good Morning Dakkadakka!

Thanks for all the posts.

Shaz, yeah, I've seen the trailer it looks really excellent.

Dr H its for sure a lethal tail and very alien 3 esque.

Cheers all

I feel that I'm done now, many washes and highlights later:

Fantastic job, like the colour scheme, and excellent job.

Great work. Lovely tongue
