  1. Seriously, man, you are my blending hero. Your skill is unreal and your ability to use and connect a broad color palette is crazy. Please keep it coming!

  2. Thanks for the kind words, and for checking out the blog! There are some colors that are easier for me than others... I never quite know why. I sometimes think that it might come down to the chemical content of the paint, etc.

  3. Very nice!

    How did you do the plumes on the helmets?

  4. On the banner bearer I chopped off the plume from a plastic Eldar excarch srue, and then green stuffed the gaps and put rivets on it.

  5. May I ask what colour palette (generally) you used for these models?

  6. I used snakebite leather and reaper walnut to create the darker colors, working up to snatkebite leather with a bit of khemri brown. Then I mixed in rotting flesh with the snakebite to lighten. I hope that is helpful.
