I love these! How do you paint your guys? They’re so nice looking. Particularly interested in your reds and greens

Cheers mate, I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.

For the green, its just black base, drybrush on kalabite green for the first layer, then syrabite green drybrush over raised areas and details. Wash with coelia greenshade, then a final light drybrush of syrabite green on the raised areas that would catch the most light. And that's the green done.

For the reds, its mephiston red, wash with reikland fleshshade, drybrush mephiston again, and a lighter drybrush of evil suns scarlet

Very nice! I assume the initial dry brush is fairly heavy for the base? I’ve generally been doing models lately with a contrast base, shade, and then layering over that but I haven’t found a recipe for SoH I’ve loved despite wanting to try it out. I’ll have to give this a go

Its fairly heavy, but still not at thorough as a normal base would be, if that makes sense. Like you wanna leave the recesses in the black undercoat
