HEY...those look really good!....I like everything EXCEPT the shiny varnish finish...It looks like satin?...anyway I perfer matte finishes on my models (Testor's Dullcoat is sweet)...keep up the good work.

Yeah....Testor's Dull Coat...I swear by it now-a-days...much better than GW matte. I also coat with Reaper's Brush on Sealer first before the Dull Coat spray is applied.

i wasn't aware that GW made a pot version of mat varnish. but those nids are really well done. my only thought is that the red could be a tad brighter in the center (though that may just be the varnish)

you mean like,a orange final edge-lighting? well, i'm sort of considering that to be done

i was actually thinking a blen up to orange right in the middle, but edge highlighting is a must.

That is what I do on my tyranids....they get a smidge of orange on the middle and on the edges of their carapace. It really makes them stand out better.

Just a question, hoping for an answer as soon as possible so I can get this brood I've been hung up on for a while painted for a competition Sunday. Sincerely, no pressure to answer. My fault for leaving it so late.
How to you envision a Kraken Genestealer (without EC)? I just can't picture which parts are flesh and which to paint carapace. Looks to me it should all be flesh, but wouldn't that look bland?

Yeah...thats how I'm going to paint them...all flesh colored (Bleached Bone). However, I'm going to use small white lines to give them a striated/gnarled look to them. Claws and toes will the be the customary red color....

PS maybe I'll get around to painting one soon...or finish off the broodlord I've started.

Great guide Krakenfiend. You make Kraken seem such a cool scheme. I've never liked it before.
