Here is an example of using the white to really pop the corners. Obviously it's a very different gem, but the effect is the same.

How did you do the swirl/galaxy effect on it?

magic? probably not

DISCLAIMER. I did not paint that. That is from GW I want to try and replicate it though! It doesn't look that tough. For the swirls, I would say start out using very thinned paint, build up the effect, then bring it home with a thicker, well placed highlight of the white and redefine the shape with going back to the darker color.

They probably used some wet blending/glazing to get the darker colors established.

Pretty productive day for me besides catching up on dishes and laundry, I finished a test model for my conquistador/empire/freeguild army and I’m pretty happy with it. I wanted the basing to be similar but not exact to what I’m planning with the lizardmen, seeing how there’s no large bases for the empire (so far) it’s just a homebrew flock and odds and ends blend that was given to me by a friend.
The lizardmen however will have basing from lord Marcus and plants from China (leafy stuff) as well as the general flock blend.
Speaking of lizardmen, I got the gems and the base color on the bastilidon finished so now I really am just waiting for plants to show up.

Conquistador looks good.

Oh captain my captain

my conquistador/empire/freeguild army

Cool! Your conquistador turned out great.

Curious what backstory you have made for these guys, and of course more pics are required!

I also really enjoyed that starry crystal.
