I am trying to decide between these two schemes. I know i am not the best painter and I had 2 desk lamps on this so hopefully there is enough light. Its basically a blend of Behemoth skin and Leviathan Carapace. They are very similiar, excpet for the fleshy parts. What do you like best? Please vote.

I like the muddier color. The devourer could use a wash to give it more depth too. Maybe red?


These are my opinions. This is how I feel. Others may feel differently. This needs to be stated for some reason.

They have a "wash" of Bloodletter Glaze.

The Glaze products are not washes. Glazes are 1) VERY transparent and 2) basically highlighter fluid. They brighten and enhance a color but they don't really get into the recesses and help them stand out by adding depth. A darker wash will make those little hive bits and creases pop.

I can try Carroburg crimson wash on the devouerers, but i like the brightness of the fleshy bits.

@azhday- i like the carapce color on that, that would be my skin though.

B - its a bit more subtle / understated. In a good way.

since you moust likely will be painting alot of nids my suggestion is to use the approach that takes the least amount of time per model.

@ FrozenDwarf The difference is very slight, basically i used different wash on the exposed fleshy parts, bloodletter vs sepia.

@ Raitus The B gaunts are easier since it's only 1 wash,rather than 2
