Doo eeet! naw i totally know when the better half starts making those lines. Tread lightly or lose all the fun..

Yea sadly the lady had to draw the line somewhere LoL.

Try and see if it is a curvy line?

So...colors? was thinking black with red for scales, but i am open to suggestions

See, I told you there was no such thing as too much warhammer!

Green scales with gun metal armor. Use the red and black as accents.

first you proclaim that new branch of grotz army... then you show the stretch limo tank...

and now a squiggoth...

man... what do you do for a living? street robbery?

mwahahahaha!

rough mock up here, but what about a blue body?

I guess the blue would be good since these guys are on the same ice world as your IG.

hmmm they are not any more... vlora is going to change to a Asian Vietnam type place. Well..the world is going to change with name.

Hmm I quite like the blue, but then I am always going to sit in the back of threads whispering: paint it green, paint it all green! but I agree, green is the most common for this sort of thing.

A dark orange could look quite nice maybe? Perhaps looking at some dinosaur pictures would be useful?

Yeah I second dark orange. Maybe some dark yellow highlights.

i also agree with this. Oj simpson squiggy is coming along then.

So i started the painting, and i wanted both schemes.
@jpaint- green is best, but to much green gets old.

Comrade that was insanely fast! But it looks awesome! I'm really impressed. What colour are you planning on doing the armour now? I wouldn't choose a bright colour or it will make it look too busy, maybe just a dark metal colour? It would contrast well with the colourful skin and make a nice difference between the organic and artificial bits stuck on top?

agree...that was quick... also that j-paint is onto something with the dark armor here... disturbingly good looking comrade!

I love the fade from tan to blue, and the orange streaks work really well. Excellent beginning mate.

Dude that looks awesome great contrast between the blue and orange really draws the eye. Can't wait to see how you do the rest of the model now

Now, I go away for one weekend and there is a squiggoth on the table. O.o oh boy! It looks really good so far!

awe shucks guys you really make me blush.

I am planning on the armor as the same color as my MANZ. the dark green along with those scratches so hopefully i am up your ally and all will tie in. Thanks for the complement.

i like squiggs that are not green, despite it being xmas time.

Thanks, it is my first time doing a transition like that.

Give me a week when i don't have school. I will drop some jaws.

SO MUCH CODE....MUST KILL THINGS>...

All the code?

Holy you got a real one! That thing looks sick! I really like the paint job so far

thanks mate! glad you can join the show.

updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!updates! updates!

Thats gonna really shell out some Hurt...

i beg to differ... its just ONE update...just because the squiggoth is a bigger unit it doesn´t equal twelve updates at once...

tho very good looking...tho teeth and horn could do with a bit of warming up...possibly a sepia wash?

not really, his real rules are kinda lame lol. Looks mean, dies like little girl. 4+ armor save, T6 W4, A3, I2 monsterious creature. Could and would most likely die in one turn of shooting. but it is 50pts! lol can bring a kannon too, but i will run it as a battle wagon

Looks very nice indeed comrade! I would second the sepia wash on the bone, has a lovely effect, I can't imagine a squiggoth brushing his teeth regularly...although the mental image of grots with brooms and gallons of toothpaste is rather amusing.

Well, i applied the wash, and it made the teeth a not to dirty look. Looks excellent. I know some people over rot their teeth to the point they dont look like they work any more. Next up is his jaw piece, and then finishing the hodah.

That is pretty cool looking. You did a great job on the skin and making the plate fit in!
