Time to start planning colours, have your say in the comments, and we'll set to work in the morning.
[poll id="32"]
Don’t the genestealers need to stand out from the foliage so the audience can see where they are on the board?
old school, purple and blue
yet my idea is winning the votes at this point muwhahaha
Looks like we have plenty to discuss this morning!
Orange and black like a tiger stripe sort of an idea.
I’d go with skeleton bone for the skin tone, with a black/brown carapace. Almost like a human insect hybrid.
when I voted I was thinking classic blue/purple but after seeing the vid would say green/bleached bone to go with the other nid’s you guys have.
Go for anything that will stand out for the camera really, realistic is nice, but blends in.
I really like the Giger idea… But I think I would do something like this:
– prime the genestealers black
– do a pre-highlight with white
– paint them with a diluted green
That way, you would get green shadows crawling through the foliage. Do the eyes bright red to add contrast and a little character to the models!
from doing Scourge for dropzone commander, metal primer followed by a purple wash is a very quick but very striking scheme. offset the metallic with bone or even black coloured talons and you’ve got a very quick but interesting scheme.
Very interesting idea there @bigdave . Forget my previous post! I’d really like the team to try this colour scheme instead!
i think go with the bone primer with green carapace but have the jungle foliage growing off of the carapaces
If you blast a model with a ton of minitaire’s ghost tint it’ll turn out really, really, really oily and slick looking, exactly like a Geiger alien.
Here is some scenes of the Aliens painted for AvP that might help, I used some of the ideas for my AvP minis.

Awesome reference stuff there!
So I know I got to this party a bit late but I think that if you want that metallic finish that the humbrol brand may work for you. There is a video on their channel that showed off these paints and made me think of what you wanted to try.
@warzan I hope that you have had a wonderful day and that wedded bliss follows. Cheers
Thanks @ghent99
