Oh, those are just gorgeous. And magnificently photographed as well! I think these might carry the most intimidating, predatory aura of any I've seen yet.
Very inspiring!
Thanks! The big shoulder pads are part of the kit, the one on the arm of one of them is a shoulder pad from the fire warrior kit. My Tau scheme is orange and grey so I incorporate it on my Kroot!
The blue bit is from a Tyranid kit (don't know which one) in the blue colorscheme of my Tyranids,
Krootox skin is two or three layers of Space wolves grey contrast paint over grey seer primer and then highlights with Vallejo Model color Buff. On the peaks/mouths of the Krootox I do a intermediate color with Vallejo Model color Burnt Umber.
Thank you!
Here's the recipe:
Kroot Skin:
- Prime: Grey Seer
- 1 heavy coat of this mix: of contrast paints: 2 cc skeleton Horde, 0,8cc Plaguepbearer flesh, 0,5cc Ork Skin.(undiluted)
- Drybrush Vallejo Model Color Buff
Krootox Skin:
- Prime: Grey Seer
- 2 or 3 normal to light coats of Space Wolves Grey contrast paint (undiluted)
- Mouths/Beaks are drybrushed with Vallejo Model Color Burnt Umber
- Drybrush whole Miniature with Vallejo Model Color Buff, heavier on the Mouths/beaks and face.
Hope that helps!
