Progress Log: Alpha Legion Warband: "The Last Surprise"

[hd3]

I finally started on all the flesh on my possessed, the varak jal to my original two gal vorbak.  First doing a cost of bugman's glow then cadian flesh tone. Next I'm going to do a wash of carroburg crimson with just a dash of lahmian medium to thin it and then a little druchii violet. I have no idea how to paint the carapace tendrils in the possesed with the crab claw hand though alas. I want them to look different from the softer fleshy parts, maybe a black/grey type protrusion with a purple wash like in the box art? 

 

I also finished the stone hydra on the sorcerer's powerpack which I think is far more appropriate than the demon snake. I went with a very faint ulthuan grey highlight because the fenris grey wasn't contrasting enough with the space wolves grey.

 

Finally, I filled in the blue on the chest of the terminator next to the chains. I also did the leather straps on the arms with xv-88 then gore grunta fur and a light agrax wash. Finally Vallejo old gold with a little metal medium to make it extra pale for the metal tips and a drop of nuln gloss to add definition.
