Tonight I finished off my first four Mentor-Scouts-count-as-IG-Vets. I'd post pictures for comments, but really, my plasma gunner sums the whole thing up best:  Oh well, I'm getting burned out on Warhammer poo poo anyway... I think outside of the odd special character, I'll try my hand at painting some Warmachine poo poo for a while. After all, due to some Warstore lolly-gagging with my order, I ended up with twin

Okay I'm split between the classic black/gold for most cryx or this scheme This looks like just a lighter green mixed with some gray. It looks good to me, should be easy to highlight and all that good stuff and I think it'll set my stuff apart from all the other Cryx stuff at the store. Whatchoo guys think

I'm pretty sure that was a scheme featured in one of the issues of No Quarter. I'll dig through my magazines and see if I can find it. [edit] No dice. Apparently I remembered wrong.

I like it, go for it as it would be nice to see something different. I remember in escalation there was a grey alternate Cygnar scheme which was pretty bitching. That reminds me I have a PP plastic heavy warjack kit to magnetize.

Unfortunately, Escalation just has two pages of pictures of Mr. Arrington's Cryx. There are no painting recipies for his colors. Good luck with it.

I think Brushthralls has more pictures of them, as he's a contributor to it, but yeah pretty sure there's no guides to doing it.

 32 tech bases, ready to be boxed up & sent off to some lucky goon. If I make any more of these it'll be to cast, gently caress hand building squillions of unique bases again.

Kharnifex posted:have you got tips for highlighting the tail bone, I can never seem to get it right, the curves etc Basecoat the whole thing, then go over the ridges with solid lines of color, incrementally increasing the brightness. The last two layers you can drybrush on as you don't want too much at that level and only the ridges on the area will pick up the paint. With the Trygon tail there are certain areas that are more raised than others, so I let those get more highlighting to give a better sense of size/distance. Like so:  I'll probably post a few more detailed photos of the body when it gets sunnier here--I got excited and took the photo last night when all I had for light was a dim bulb and the "adjust brightness/contrast" tool. More detailed photos can show how the tail actually looks since a lot of coloring was bleached out.

The Saddest Robot posted:Unfortunately I'm at the spot where I am recognizing all of the mistakes and flaws in my paintjob and am tempted to strip and start over. As has been said, don't. It looks fine and the carapace highlighting is really nice. Let it be for now and paint something else, you'll come back to it and realise it's fine. As well as that, I find that stripping something you've almost finished really does not help motivate you to paint it again. I stripped nearly finished Ultramarine tac, terminator and assault squads ~11 months ago to repaint them as Crimson Fists, took me until the Christmas break to get beyond the base coat, and still none of them are anywhere near finished. All the Tervigon stuff people are doing is going great. Makes me really itch to start mine, but I promised myself I'd build the 40 or so termagants littering my desk first. Mass Effect 2 isn't helping with that.
