The browns still don't look quite right. Maybe some highlights or a dry brush of gorthor brown?

Mix a bit of Zandri Dust into the base coat to lighten it and drybrush that on? (alternatively, you could use a light grey, instead Zandri Dust)

Looking good!  Yes, Gorthor Brown might help. Or use a slightly lighter brown such as Baneblade Brown.

I quite like the brown you've currently got, so I don't think it needs anything more, strictly speaking.  That said, nothing wrong with continuing to search for a permutation you are truly happy with.

I did a very light dry brush of gorthor over the muscles to try and even the time out while still making it contrast with the carapace. Then I just applied my horn formula, Zandri with agrax, then ushabti then flayed one flesh towards the tip. I did have to use agrax again to even it out though.

The eyes were so stressful, my hand was shaking in terror trying to do the pupils on the eyes! I wanted a bright colour in the same section of the colour wheel so I went with averlabd sunset and Abaddon black for the pupil which I tried to do as a straight line down to look more inhuman.

 

Finally I did the rubble and girder debris in the base. I'm really happy with the hormagaunt base as the creep looks like it's starting to grow over the debris. I might do a tiny drybrush of dawnstone on the rockcrete debris to make it contrast more with the mucus creep.

Looking at it now, I wish I had chosen a different colour for the base debris to stand out more against the creep.

It wouldn't take too long to repaint. :)

I'm at a bit of a loss what to choose though. Browns are out because I need it to contrast with the model and the debris really looks like rockcrete

Finally finished the fleshborer on the termagant and did the tongue. I decided to make the little orb into another eye because it seemed appropriately gross. I think I might give it a wash of carroburg crimson to make it more bloodshot. 

 

Also, while I love most of tamiya's paints so far, the xs pink has really bad coverage but it's just for the tongue so it barely seems worth it. Think I might need to add a spot more pink to the base of the tongue too 

 

Now you may be asking, "Sure, but what does any of this have to do with terrain?" I thank you for your patience and the next post will be the answer.
