Then drybrush surrounding areas with your basecoat color, or paint thin layers if drybrushing is not feasible. <br /><br />In the case of this Cryx glow, I started with a base of GW Snot Green (now Warpstone Glow), then mostly covered that with GW Moot Green, That all got a wash of the GW Biel-Tan Green. Then in increasingly smaller areas, I started with Moot Green again then layered up, adding some MWH each time. The last layer was MWH with just a dot of Moot Green. Then I drybrushed or painted Moot Green around the glowing area. <br /><br />I know you prefer P3 paints (as I often do, but I already had the GW), so you could use Necrotite Green as your base and drybrush color, still mixing in MWH. If you want that shade color, I'd replace Snot Green with Iosan Green, maybe with a bit of Gnarls Green mixed in.<br /><br />Next time I paint some Cryx with glowy bits, I'll try to remember to take some pictures.geneguardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254572665755050240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-89064551183937803342013-05-05T15:42:15.035-04:002013-05-05T15:42:15.035-04:00Please put together a "how-to" for the g...Please put together a "how-to" for the green glow, or give us a link to the site you used!

Sounds like you are going the same caster route I took when I started Cryx. <br /><br />Bane Thralls (Stealth), Bane Knights (ignore terrain) and Mechanithralls (require Brute thrall(s) and Necrosurgeon for best effect) are fun, but you end up with so many bodies and activations that you're against the wall to finish before the clock runs out. I ended up with Mortenebra as my go-to caster for tournaments; Less models to move against the Death Clock!Maelstormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671926069884921312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169114571785178040.post-24046282434404611222013-05-02T20:02:00.206-04:002013-05-02T20:02:00.206-04:00Cryx is a pretty cool faction.

With my battlebox I picked up a Necrotech and a scrap thrall, as well as a Skarlock Thrall and some Mechanithralls so I could play around with some 15 point lists. Cryx infantry is a viable thing, so Bane Thralls are eventually going to make their way into some of my armies. Once I get some games in with Asphyxious and Deneghra, I'm going to try the Goreshade Bane-a-palooza tier lists. <br /><br />Painting Cryx is like doing three different armies when you add units - the horned priate ladies paint differently than the Bane base warjacks, and the 'ghostly' units like pistol wraiths require a whole different approach. This paint scheme kind of reminds me of the variant Nurgle Death Guard scheme. Nice work! You'll have to show me how you do the 'glowy green' my stuff just uses simple highlighting.
