I am painting an old base. I don't know where I got this pile of skulls.

Now I am identefying something that is not a skull. It apears to have...something coming out of it? Is it a chain trapping a rock to the phase? I don't know how I should paint it. Please advice. It is made of metal.

Note I added skull number 1 and 2 there as there where crevises there.

My advice:

Paint it to be what ever you want it to be... maybe add a little green stuff too... that way you can feel confident that it will become what you make it to be when painted.

I honestly can't tell what it actually is... some times I look and see an Ork skull laid on it's side and smashed into the mud... then I blink and other times I see a Ripper Nid being smashed into the mud... then I turn my head and it looks like a gray rock on top of armor and junk...

Good luck

1 is a Tyranid skull, either a Gaunt or a Genestealer, I forget which right now.

2 is possibly an ork skull, what you're seeing is the lower jaw on the other side of that gap.

EDIT - the grey piece is a rock.
