Brother Nihm Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Suggestion for horns, link You just need to convert the old names to the new and you should be good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Lord Shamrockius Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 What shade of blue are you using? Although it was never been a popular colour and has been out of circulation since Moby Dick was a minnow, I chose Nausiating Blue. Even people who had declared for years that they hated it, with a purple robe, it makes them look a little more "creeping off in the night". Just a thought and still doesn't help with your scales but I've got no idea how to paint scales... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Fox Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 As I've been contemplating an Alpha Legion squad or two as a modelling exercise and for kicks, it occured to me that priming white, doing a wash of green, then putting on a bit of a drybrush/layer of blue over that while leaving the green around the edges from the wash could work. You can then do a lighter layer of blue over the first one to add a little depth. This keeps the primary blue color while adding lots of green accent from the under-wash, then you can still pick out raised details in silver to hit the whole color pallete. Granted this is just in theory though, I haven't painted any models nor do I know when exactly I'll get to get around to it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Keyaetus Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Well with the old paints, I would slap on hawk turquoise over the undercoat, chainmail trims, then just slapped green wash all over it, worked well enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
