    A wild red Skink chieftain has appeared to guard the washing powder!

    The undercoat has gone on a little thick in the torso area but I think it will be okay still.

    Just use extreme highlight to bring back the muscle definition.

    My opinion is it's too green, take a look at this shield,

    [​IMG]

    My method, the shield was painted black first then Drybrushed Incubi darkness then drybrushed randomly with stegadon green then pallid wych white with a fine detail brush and quickly and softly stroke the shield in random directions, then glaze randomly with biel tan green.

    But your still looks good just different. ;)

    Hmm yeah, I think I want it somewhere in between. maybe something like this mask, it's bright but still has imperfections.

    I see were your going with it now, instead of white use a dark grey and maybe a copper colour for the veins.

    Looking forward to seeing you pull this off ;)

    So far looks really cool. That bright jade is looking good, though @Crowsfoot has some good points. This is going to be awesome!

    I like the jade! Eventually I will learn to paint it as well as either of you, or at least that is the goal. :artist:

    Really like the genestealer! I still have a few tyrrannids lying around from the old Battle for Maccrage set that I never painted, yours gives me inspiration to go back and look at them eventually. Also like the inclusion of the blood-angels helmet on the base!

    Also noticed the mask you used for inspiration! Looks like the reconstructed death-mask of Pakal the Great of Palenque. Good pic!

    The base is how it comes as it's a space hulk genestealer but thanks I like the contrast.

    I didn't know about the mask's origin to be honest, was just googling for inspiration!

    Haven't had a chance to paint anymore yet, but just won an eBay auction for a genestealer cult :cat:

    This is the haul, I like how they obviously used the old cult models as inspiration.

    Another awesome haul, definitely something I would be interesting in collecting. Gotta finish my lizards and brets first!

    I got it for a shade under £50 which was more than I was hoping for, but less then average looking at other similar items on eBay.

    Yeah so you might notice this isn't a Lizard man again... sorry about that. tumblr_oe9ylfChAi1vgcxx5o1_1280.jpg

    I was trying to make him look grimy and low key, which is a departure from my usual style. The colour is a little dark in this photo too, but i'm not due for a new phone with a decent camera until December unfortunately.

    cheers,

    Beardy
