I wanted to create a scheme which goes well with my Rusted Claw Neophytes (https://paintpad.app/recipes/15712) but also somewhat resembled the Kill Team Termination brood brothers box art. So I removed the orange from the scheme, and exchanged the blue pants/fatigues from the neophytes to black fatigues.

This recipe will be focused on speed, and theremore you might think some steps are missing, or that some parts of the mini gets less love than others, and that is intentional. If you want to go further with some steps, then you absolutely should!

  4. Re-apply Pallid Wych Flesh , I do this with a sponge, you can paint it too, but make sure to do some scratches to the red stripes if there are any.
  5. Sponge on mud/paint chips using Dryad Bark , focus on edges
