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.

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.

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

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

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