I wanted to accentuate the extra-galactic, cosmic horror of the Tiamet scheme, by using a monochromatic palete of pale green / turquoise, cold colors.

Heavily based on the work of Matt's Hobby Hour https://youtu.be/IiQP0ldIOn0?si=1cwEIIN9KP_40UCj

Priming

  1. Prime using grey / white color. I'm using White Scar .
  2. In order to easily cover mistakes, I'm airbrushing Dead White all over the miniature, especially the skin, but it also works by brush.

Carapace

  1. The messy steps first, I'm painting the carapace. I'm using a 1:1:4:1 mix of Aeldari Emerald , Kroxigor Scales , Black Templar and Vallejo Flow Improver.
    Two coats.

Claws

  1. Apply Black Legion

Bio weapons

  1. Apply a 2:1 mix of Basilicanum Grey and Terradon Turquoise .

Skin

  1. Time to cover the mess with Dead White .
  2. Apply a 2:2:1 mix of Gryph-charger Grey , Contrast Medium and Water.

Brains

  1. Apply a 1:1:2 mix of Aeldari Emerald , Frostheart and Contrast Medium .

Membranes and tongues

  1. Apply a 1:1 mix of Basilicanum Grey and Terradon Turquoise .
