Hive fleet Gorgon tutorial?

[hungryhormie]

Hey hive! Been having a bit of trouble finding a tutorial for the Gorgon paint scheme. If someone could please point me in the right direction, I'd be super grateful. Even just the paints that I would need would be pretty sweet.

While not a tutorial as such my fleet is painted in Gorgon's colour scheme.

I use Army Painter Goblin Green spray on the entire model. Then paint carapace, teeth, and talons with a white base.
Then a coat of skeleton bone once the white has dried on the carapace and bone. I then paint the fleshy parts (guns, tongues Toxin sacs and Adrenal glands Alien Purple. Then I use a watered down Strong Tone wash over the entire model.

Once dry I pick out the eyes in Demonic Yellow.

As the spray does a lot of the work and the wash helps to shade the model the scheme is easy to churn out a horde in no time.

Thanks for the info stonehorse. I appreciate it.

If I were going to paint hive fleet gorgon (which I was sorely tempted to do) I'd follow the warhammer tv deathguard tutorial for the skin. I think in would suit then perfectly

Gorgon's Hive Fleet Colors (unless Im mistaken) are completely new and I highly doubt there have been any tutorials created yet.

To be honest they are literally Your paint scheme, reversed.

If You have some advices about Your current paint scheme or even tutorial, that would be grand. (I know it isn't as simple as just swapping colors since carapace =/= flesh, but some pointers would be nice)

I, for one may write something about Jormungandr (ironically, my least favorite fleet) since I like juicy orange paired with black, white or gray.

Dude I thought the exact same thing when I saw their colors in the codex! I was like this is some twilight zone (please do not swear)!

Give me a bit and I can post some quick pointers

So these are my Raveners. I don't have a lot of "set" colors I use because honestly you shouldn't HAVE to because they're organisms not a football team and also that gets boring. So if you look across my army I have lots of different shades and patterns of green carapace and bone skin.

General recipe is, skin: An off white tanish base, Seraphim Sepia wash, drybrush with ivory or traditional off white, pure white highlights. Carapace: medium/dark green, Nuln Oil wash, lighter green highlights.

Sorry if that's not specific enough, as I mentioned I'm not set in my ways. I usually play around with my colors and find something I like. As the artist, I can't "paint by colors"
