OR when you've been away from a project for so long that you've forgotten how you achieved the colors that you did and don't know how to replicate your old work. Even being gone a month I had forgotten the colors that I used on my skaven Fortunately with my skaven I remembered to write down my process and so I was able to recover my work. I'm going to start doing that now! I think there are som good apps for this. Think one was called PaintMyMinis.

Never would have occurred to me that there's apps out there for that.

That's not a bad method for painting eyes, but I think it's a little labor intensive.
I simply paint the base skin tone, then apply a brown wash, then paint an off-white eye, use a Micron pen (the one he showed in the video, except a 005 version. The 01 is too big.) and then come back with the flesh tone cleaning up around the eye as he did. Applying a wash does the same thing that his dark brown did except it's a lot faster, covers the entire skin in the same shadow effect (which is what that's trying to represent) and highlights the eye making it pop out. That's a much faster method.

YAY! Red Bull gives you WINGS! Lol. He may be slightly quozimodo in appearance. I really should have practiced before just going for it with the green stuff. Practice might have given me an idea on how much to both use and in working out how to sculpt it. Even on this you can see the improvement between the left side (which I did first) and the left.

I dint even notice and still cant good work!

Khazbar is a particularly cunning Beastmen. Having observed humans for many years he noted that their units always covered themselves in the same way. Thinking this may have given them an edge in combat he ordered his herd to loot the bodies of the defeated and take the cloth for their own. It is for this reason each of his units have matching 'garments'. I love this idea. I love the theme, fluff wise AND I love how it looks as an army. TBH; I had lost motivation on my beastmen army. This has motivated me. I did some rusty metal drybrushing this evening. Cheers to the beasts!!!

I did some rusty metal drybrushing this evening. Cheers to the beasts!!! Thanks wilsonthenarc. I could say the same about yourself and the others on the forum. The painting side has never been high on my list but all the threads in this sub forum have really motivated me to get into that side again. I follow a number of blogs including one by imperialrebalorc and though his relates mainly to INQ28 (darker 40k) everything done has background/fluff and I really like the idea. Plus I like to have excuses/reasons for having the bright colours on the models!
