Thanks for the input. I was thinking something easy for the shields, more in the neutral side of colours. Actually I am musing about earth tones (graveyard brown as base and then lighter up to bleached bone and a quick wash). Would make painting them rather quickly. Red was also an option, but I'm unsure if it won't be too much colour, as I tried to keep colors on the skinks).

@Aginor
Colours I used:
Prime white,
base colour Macharius Orange.
Then layering with a 50/50 mix MO/Gitz Yellow
Next layer only edges with GY.
After all is dry apply bloodletter (glaze). Finally bring back the highlights with GY.

So long

So...A short update. After I f****d up the wings I had to redo them completely... so what do you think?

I really like this, comes off as very firelike, almost like a sunrise, I think you've done this brilliantly.

Nothing to complain about, I think...

 

[Lawot]

Yup, wings look great! What color are the Skink riders going to be?

 

[Nefertem]

I kept them blue. So that there's a strong complementary contrast to the rippers. In fact as my r&f skinks I showed earlier in the thread.

clever pun

 

[Nefertem]

Sooo..After a long time I finished the Rippers. I only have to paint Te'Ki'La..Don't know why I forgot him when painting the rest.

This looks so cool! Vibrant colours and amazing details!

Very nice colors!
Love the Skink, and the color contrast to the Tequila Sunrise paint scheme of the Ripper is magnificient.
