I wasn't as sure about how "40k" these guys would look back when they were previewed but I think they ended up firing the aesthetic just right. Scrap tech, plenty of chaos, begging for some grim dark colorations.

Nice, did you use speed paints? I just got a set for my fiance and they give a certain grimy detailed look like you have here.

Great work on the smoke!

They all look good, honestly, but I love how good that smoke looks.

Isn't it a neat effect? I used Akhelian Green Contrast and dry brushed Ulthian Grey then white scar.

Awesome attention to detail on all of these.

Combination of Speed Paint and Contrast paint for the base coats, yeah.

Speed paints: Ruddy Fur - for the fur Broadsword Silver and Talos Bronze - for the metals Fire Giant Orange - Eyes and Glow Hardened Leather - Straps and Belts Grin Black - Weapons

Contrast Paints: Guiliman Flesh - Skin Skeleton Horde - Horns, Hooves, Bones Teradon Turquoise - Cloth

Then Agrax Earthshade over everything and dry brush or highlight as needed.
