I call my theme "moldy goldy":

Black metallic as the base. "Highlight" with necrotite green. Dry brush with tarnished brash. Highlight with a brighter gold.

[impaler27]

what colors did you use on tartar sauce's bottom ghostly part

[Island]

mine are red. Piccie:

[Fandeath]

I am in love with your paint scheme Island!

[PxDnNinja]

I use purple and gold for my cryx.

[IsaacX28]

My favorite thing ever is trolling the guys at my shop when they think Cryx has to be all dull and black.



Look for these and others when I bring them to Lock and Load this summer!

[Crate123]

I have no pics since I dont own a camera. My melee jacks are all in the traditional scheme but my ranged jacks are light grey. It looks surprisingly good.

[Rumor]

I use the usual Bane Base/Highlight lots, but my accents are all Turquise and Orange with a bit of gold on some of them.





(Termy is a bit more Turquoise than the others)

[usbprime]

wow.......that terminus conversion is sick.......once i fix my photobucket issue, i'll post the link to the pics i have.

EDIT: I think I fixed the issue. They can be seen here

[IMakeGoodwin'sLawHappen]

Wow, have to say I like what I see, for all of them.

That Terminus conversion... I have no words....

[ingusmat]

Orange and gray DJ and Gaspy.

[Rumor]

Wow now that is bold, not my personal tastes but damm an army of that would look striking.

[PG_ATSD]

what colors did you use on tartar sauce's bottom ghostly part

Necrotic green with dark tone quick shade.

[tunagami]

Here are mine, but the pictures are poor:

[Daggermouth]

Here's my scheme. I thought purple with blue necrotite would be a good combo. I'm not a big fan of yellowish/green necrotite, but that's just my personal preference.

[Island]

Oooh, purple! Suave!

[ingusmat]

Oh, yeah, the purple's nice!

[Morganstern]

Not exactly a alt paint scheme, more an interpritation of the classic scheme http://privateerpressforums.com/show...og-(pic-heavy)

[vegron]

I took a Fire theme to separate my normal painted cryx so if i ever divided them up into two armies, i would know what belonged to which player. The Nightmare glows in the dark, by the way, the stack, glyphs, mouth, back and base all glow.

[Kannachan]

These are quite impressive indeed.
Here are the two schemes I currently use


While they're not exactly alternate per say, their different from the Official colors.

[grimni22]

greeeeeeeeen!!

[Island]

Niiice, an army of that green looks badass, I expect!

[grimni22]

it looks like this:

[Gamingdevil]

What happened to the chicken in the front?

[dakem]

dark green and bronze

[usbprime]

What happened to the chicken in the front?

I'm trying to figure that out myself.....and who's the model to the left of Denny? I don't recognize it.

[Barrynstein]

I'm trying to figure that out myself.....and who's the model to the left of Denny? I don't recognize it.

I am assuming the model to the left is an alternate to the WWS and maybe Beetlejuice happened to the chicken in the front to make it more of a kiwi.

[ingusmat]

That's awesome-- I was totally thinking beetlejuice as well.

[Crate123]

Man those are some beautiful dolls you have painted there "and Riot". how did you get those green colors ?

[PG_JonWebb]

I too have fallen for the red look, though I am now thinking of painting them green now

[PG_and Riot!]

Thanks.

The green is a pretty simple layer build.
1) if you use black primer like me, start by blocking in the areas with Menoth White Base. Bright green doesn't cover over black well.
2) Paint/Wash with thinned Necrotite Green. You want it to pull into the recesses and create your shade.
3) Midtones are VGC Bile Green. You could mix Necrotite Green and Cygnus Yellow to make an approximation of this color.
4) Highlights are pure Cygnus Yellow.

Biggest mistake most people make when trying to highlight green is they use white. It winds up looking dusty and chalky. Use yellow for maximum awesome.

[Drakor]

Pretty poor pics but it gets the general idea across.

[gunslingerpro]

All are truly fantastic! I'll post white/red/gold cryx later.

[Obeisance]

I went for roman inspired Cryx.

[PBartholdy]

Great thread!

Here's my contribution:

I've tried to go with a battered metal look to my jacks, and eeryness to my units. Right now I only have my Slayer and a unit of Bane Thralls done, but I'll soon have a couple of Deathrippers done as well.
