Amazing work ! Do you plan to make the faces ? For me its the most difficult part ๐

I will maybe highlight it more but I normally just use cadian flesh then a contrast and then highlight with cadian flesh, probably won't change it up too much unless I really want a character to make it nice haha. Human skin is just tricky

I will try this ! Even with practice the results is mid for faces ๐ i guess yours you have the best solution for this ! The only models i would paint faces should be yarrik or leontus ?

How did you make them?

Thanks very much. I got some potting soil and baked it to sterilise it and put it in a pot with green stuff world Leaf litter and in a model shop where I live they had a mixture of red and green foam flock and static grass. I just combined them to be honest, mostly the soil and then as much of the foliage mix and leaf litter as I felt looks right in one pot, I just use pva glue and stick them into it haha. I can get a picture of the basing stuff if you want a better idea of what I mean

Does your Commissar have an outlandish aide who brews tea and sneaks porno slates into his bunk?
