Hi, heres a quick update

done some more higlights, and painted de face of the sargent.

Thanks for the sugestions on the stripes they look better (but still a lot to do )

What do you think? sugestions and critics always welcome.

I like how these are looking so far, what colour will you use for the fleshy parts?

they look great with those white/bleached bone highlights! What Doesn`t suit me is the purple skin color.

The face is still a try and error, im trying to achieve a diferent look. For now i painted it with rothen flesh and gave a purple wash and then a very diluted black wash.

Today i will give some warm colors to it and maybe some greens.

The nurgle blobs and things like that will be painted red going for bronzed flesh and highlight bleached bone.

the frame of the armor i still not quite sure but i will try a dark flesh going green with grey as highlights, will see this one.

All the armor will still receive some purple/green glazes.

The base i really dont know yet

Sugestions are welcome, thanks

on the stripes i would do a little more contrast in the center just to deepen the effect and maybe throw in some bits of metal just for some shiny

Not much going on at the moment, just painting the blobs and trying to find a good look for the metal parts, will try to take some pictures today

Finally time for photos.

I forgot one of the most important rules of painting Always paint under good light

Well i can still fix some parts

Still a lot to do, but now the flesh is done, it only needs some smother blending (thats what happens wend working under a bad light), and all of the blobs will be like they are living and feeding out of the marine. I think it gives a nice contrast.

critics are welcome.

I really like the contrast you've achieved on the armour. On the guy with the gun, looking at the latest wip and the one before i actually preferred the purple face i think it really makes it stand out. I find what you've done now the head blends in too much with the armour.

The other one with the growth on his face is very cool the red is nice and works well as blood etc.

the rotting parts are just great. they look like raw meat!

great job you did with the flesh!
My thought is, that maybe a bit of darker red with water effect in some places could give the blood effect - if you want of course
