Lost Patrol – Genestealer Brood Final Details
John moves on to adding the final details of painting for our Genestealer Brood, they are really looking good.
Lost Patrol - Basing All The Miniatures
Time to add some basing to our Lost Patrol Miniatures and get them finally finished up.
Nice! I love hobby creative goodness!
Great fun. Haven’t seen a 40K sprue in hand since Space Crusade in my youth. Would be nice to see how this plays and see if I introduce my son to this world via Lost Patrol. Price seems good. If it looks like you enjoy the play through I may get it.
For the Xenomorph look, you could try priming black and then giving them a very light dry brush of a dark metalic color to get the metalic shimmer, and then gloss coat.
Old skool Space Hulk purple and blue all the way for the ‘stealers!
Green Flesh with Purple Carapace (Yuk!) (6%, 1 Votes) is how I plan to do mine, but with a nice coat of Liquitex Iridescent Medium on the carapace. Maybe a couple different greens.
The John way, but also match the other colours of the plants (red, yellow etc) in small areas
i’ll check in tomorow, thanks for the VLOG guys!
I’m thinking “dark blue + yellow camo pattern”
Kind of like the some reptiles and frogs :

Just because even our earth jungle is green that doesn’t mean the animals are too.
Reality can be stranger than fiction.
Kudos on getting it sent to you, fingers crossed for future co-operation gents
Blue and Purple – Space Hulk!
purple and blue – a good contrast for brown and green jungle/ red scouts
Johns idea but with a brown Carapace :o)
Great idea to do this vlog as the day progresses, you should do more videos like this! Looking forward to seeing how tomorrow unfolds.
You can have too much green, and whilst I appreciate camo, you don’t want to lose the genestealers altogether. For example, Tigers hide amazingly well in the jungle but they’re sure not green.
Not green? Haven’t you seen He-Man?
Very cool project and very inspirational.
Oh dear, you got my mind blowing away. How about a game with some Catachan Jungle fighters as proxies. Sly Marbo here I come.
I’m not sure what blows me away more, your awesome work or the fact GW actually sent you one of their products…
Looking forward to the play through.
Very very interesting, thanks!
Feckin Ell! GW are really changing their tune. Gone are the days of stopping you doing review videos to now sending you something early so it can be done up all shiny and painted prior to release.
Time for me to go and faint in a corner…
Jon the green army paint you used on the Genestealers, did you use it straight from the bottle or was it thinned down with water? Thanks in advance for your answer.
thinned slightly.
Looking good so far….
Wow, when looking those genestealers, I want an airbrush for myself too. Looking soooo good!
Looks great guys, I have really enjoyed looking through the whole project log.
For the jungle floor: I gave up smoking about the time my blood pressure started getting bad, and took up drinking green tea. So, for the last few years I have been drying out the green tea bags and dumping the used, dried tea in containers and stashing the empty bags away. The tea makes great scatter and the bags work for painting up miniature flags and banners. The price is right and leaves me enough pocket change for a new mini now and then, or a bottle of Laphroaig to make up for the healthy effects of all that… Read more »
