Painting: Games Workshop: Warhammer 40k: Genestealer Cult: Purestrain Genestealers & Familiars

These have driven me insane!

Especially as it's such a simple and straight forward process!

The process I followed was as follows:

• Undercoat in black
• Paint all areas of flesh with GW Daemonette Hide 
• Wash areas of flesh with AP purple tone
• Highlight flesh areas with GW Slaanesh Grey
• touch up chitin areas with GW Abaddon black
• Drybrush Chitin with Vallejo game colour Stonewall grey (72.040)
• Paint tongue with Vallejo game colour Hexed Lichen (72.015) 
• teeth with either Vallejo game colour Plague Brown (72.039) or Vallejo game colour Bonewhite (72.034), then washed with AP strong tone
• eyes with GW Iyanden Darksun
• Matt varnish was then applied all over except for the claws and tongue, those were covered with Gloss varnish
• The base was covered with GW Astrogranite debris; once dry it was washed with AP dark tone and the edge of the base was painted black

For the familiars there was the addition of GW Mephiston Red for the cloth which was washed with AP dark tone.

So quick and simple however touching up the black areas just drove me insane! Thankfully this is the last of the purestrain genestealers for my force, so I don't need to worry about doing this for a little while.
