Cityfight Nid's

Seeing as my other colour scheme took a good hour+ per model, I decided that it wouldn't be very good for me to carry on with it. Me and my friend (who will be one of the, if not the, only people I play) have decided to have our battles in a city, and the surrounding area around the city. I painted a couple of test Gaunt's (which were given to me) and came up with this colour scheme:



I got 4 of these bad boys finished in about 45 minutes, so a massive improvement on the previous time, plus, I really like the colour scheme, as it is more in keeping with our scenarios. Enjoy

It's effective and simple, I like it

I like the metallic look! It gives them a hidden story behind them

The pic looks nice. Post more if you can.

The paint looks simplistic-ly effective! This is a GREAT thing! Based black with dry-brushed fortress grey? It gives them a metallic shine... very cool. Accents in enchanted blue and red, right?

I think you are achieving a nice scheme.

Well, it's sprayed black, drybrushed Adaptes Battlegrey, then very lightly drybrushed Skull White. Then I do a really thin black ink wash, then drybrush white again. The blue is basecoated Hawk Turqoise, blue inked, HT again, then a couple of highlights with added white.

I'm going to come up with some fluff for them (something to do with Tau, my friends army) in the near future. Just bought a Ravager today so should have photos tonight. I'll get a few more of the Genestealers too.
