Added some blight lords to complement my combat patrol. Working on some demon engines now. Also, as you can tell my cutting mat has been well loved over the years lol

Also anyone else kinda hated the bug armor until you painted it and it’s now your favorite thing? Or is that just me

Decided to do something different for my next art project and bought a death guard CP and fell in love. These marines are done (at least to my battle ready standards) and ready to fight and touch grass.

As someone who likes dirty looking models and hates edge highlights, this fairly simple but effective scheme I shamelessly copied from Ben on the yogscast weekly warhammer stream(RIP) worked wonders. Just spray white, green shoulder/knee pads, Metallics, and contrast paints over the gribbly bits. Then add and remove streaking grime and apply other weathering bits.

Loved painting these guys but not the happiest with how the patina came out. It looked fine pre varnishing, a subtle effect which I was going for, but after applying a final matte varnish the patina kinda became far more distinctive and just kinda looked like splashes of cyan paint. Not sure if I should just apply it after varnishing or find another method besides what I’m doing now (watered down nilokh oxide)

Also I do like the bases but it also just kinda looks like they’re strolling through a grass field on their daily walk. I guess maybe adding some skulls or slime would fix it. I normally do a Martian base for my minis but really wanted to do something different this time around.
