    Gorgeous model! I would display that as is! I really like the glowing eye effect. Just looks so cool. So many little details to enjoy.

    Looking good! I must ask - what is the colour you've been using on the armour? I really love that blue/green, particularly on Vyros.

    It's incubi darkness from the GW range(with increasing amounts of valejo bone colour added for the highlights). I'm particularly pissed off that GW doesn't make it in the airbrush range, and even more pissed off that they make an airbrush range IN A FECKING POP TUB!
    But i make do.

    Thanks! I think I've found my new base colour for my Chaos army. Shame about not being an airbrush colour, I'm getting less and less use out of mine and after spending $400 on it my wife isn't overly pleased about it...

    Keep up the good work!

    You can still use a regular paint with your airbrush. You just need to thin it down with some "Airbrush thinner". The extra step might be a little more work, but well worth it if it helps to validate your purchase in the eyes of your wife. :) (plus you'll save a lot of time applying the base coat with the airbrush).

    What @NIGHTBRINGER said. I get the incubi darkness, put a hefy amount of liquidex flow-aid in the pot and shake the absolute bajeez's out of it, then blue tack it open to something to let it drip into an empty dropper bottle.

    this is the tutorial I followed

    You could always move over to Kings of War? Both armies are fully catered for and the rules are much tighter and strategically interesting. @Crowsfoot can attest to that!

    My investment in GW is more on the 40k side of things. I have roughly 4000pts of Chaos Space Marines and that's not counting the stuff still in boxes! I've also still got a bunch of Necron stuff I'm trying to sell off and a crate full of Orks and Tyranids from my youth.

    Nothing to be excited about I'm afraid. A few 3rd ed vehicles (that are trashed and will soon become terrain) and about 30-40 poorly painted Ork Boyz. There might be a warboss in there somewhere but I can't remember - they've been in a storage locker for the past 3 years!

    I've got far more Tyranids but they're in an even worse state...
