Late on this: but holy crap I love bugman. He looks like a guy who is out cold from heavy drinking!
 
I painted a Branchwraith for my wife's Sylvaneth army.

This was the first time I used contrast colors.
The result got a bit too dark but then I just drybrushed with a light brown and it looked better.

I still think the miniature looks a tad dark when it is on the table, but I am relatively happy with the result.
Like most Sylvaneth it is quick and easy to paint.

I also primed the Arch Revenant and a Kurnoth Hunter, and I painted Arkhan's ghosts and cloak.

Finally the temperatures went down today, so I could paint again.

Hi Aginor, do you think the back contrast paint would maybe work for Saurus shields? having that black/grey slate-like effect come out properly?

Curious as I've been thinking of give it a go, but I've not invested in the paint yet.

Yes, I think that could work. The contrast black will make pretty dark crevices, almost like Abaddon Black, while the raised areas will look a bit like Eshin Grey or so. If you thin it a bit you can make a few more greys with it. And should you decide that you need a tint of some color (like green or purple) then you can use either a shade of that color, or use a heavily thinned down contrast color as glaze.
In a pinch you can just drybrush over it with some lighter grey.
 
I just noticed that I forgot to make a post on my hobby anniversary (two weeks ago).
I was a bit busy with other stuff so I haven't painted much (except in the last few days).

I play almost every week though, and I enjoy this a lot. This forum has a big part in that. Thank y'all for that!

Progress pics of Arkhan, rider almost finished, mount needs some shade and a few details.

Thank you!
That's the first model where I really took time for the edge highlighting. Perhaps the lines are a tad thick and the color isn't 100% what I want either, but close enough I guess. The goal is to fit into the style of my Morghasts.

Edit: Holy Moly it has been over a year since I painted those!

It pays off ;)

Oh, and here is the recipe for this style in case I forget it again:
- primed white (yes that sucks for dark colors)
- base coat armor with Alien Purple (Army Painter), 5-6 thin layers
- shade completely with Dark Tone (Army Painter)
- recess shade with Dark Tone
- edge highlight with Wolf Grey (Army Painter)
- shade with Purple tone (Army Painter) to tie the grey and purple together

- metal parts are Weapon Bronze (Army Painter), shaded with Soft Tone (Army Painter) or not at all if they should be shiny. Can be highlighted with silver or bright gold.

- paint bone parts with Skeleton bone (Army Painter)
- shade bone with Soft Tone (Army Painter)

- base coat claws and horns Necromancer Cloak (Army Painter)
- drybrush them with Uniform Grey (Army Painter)

Skin and sword sheath:
- base coat white
- shade with Reikland Flesh shade (Citadel)
- paint stitches Necromancer Cloak or some brown

- teeth are just Brainmatter Beige (Army Painter) or white, shaded with soft tone.

Ghost parts are
- white base coat
- shaded Green Tone (Army Painter)
- drybrushed with white
- glazed with Waywatcher Green (Citadel)
- drybrushed with white again, this time lightly

- glowing green parts are Moot Green (Citadel)
- OSL glazed with Waywatcher Green OR drybrushed on using Moot Green
- if gem: apply gloss varnish
