Final Completion of Test Termagaunts:

I finished up painting the test Termagaunts last night, with the exception of the eyes. I might go back and add a little bit of orange and yellow to the eyes to make them more beady eyed and vicious looking. On to the sweetness!

Here we have the finished Gaunts, and I used a variety of paints on the final touches, including some of the new texture paint and dry brush paints.

For the tongue's I used a base of 'Pink Horror' and highlighted with  'Emperors Children'
The purple on the gaunt's fleshborers was based with 'Xereus Purple' and highlighted with 'Genestealer Purple'. The eyes I based with 'Wazdakka Red' and highlighted with 'Evil Sunz Scarlet'.
Finally on the base I used a coat of the new texture paint, 'Stirland Mud' and drybrushed on a coat of 'Tyrant Skull'.

The dry brush paint went on very easy and was quite pleasant to use. The texture paint was a bit messier and it was more difficult to get exactly where I wanted it, especially around the hooves and claws dangling down near the base. For the finishing touch I glued on a bit of grass to make it look like they're in a dry, arid environment. I'm not sure if I'm impressed with the base or if I'd like to go for something more urban. However for now this looks spectacular.

The only change I might mess with in the future, is using a glaze of 'Waywatcher Green' to go over the bodies of the Termagaunts.
