I spent more time than I expected on these, despite them not really being too much above tabletop quality. The blending breaks down in a few places where I used washes and it pooled too much. I mostly followed the NQ #14 guide to painting them just to understand what they were doing with all that mixing of different colors. It was interesting. The flesh really does have a lot of interesting tone to it.
I experimented with one of the new GW washes (Devlan Mud) on this one. You can't really see where I used it anymore, but I was fairly impressed with it.
One thing I'm still not sure about is using metalics. I'd been experimenting with NMM techniques on some of my Cryx models, but not all of them. The Cephalyx and the Revenants all use real metalics, whereas everything else uses NMM techniques. It creates a little inconsistency in the overall army, but I'm not losing sleep over it.
Anyway, here's some pics in groups of 3...

It an amazing skin-tone you have archived on these models, I especially like the blue and purple in the darker areas of the shading. Once again a job well-done.
BTW: Devlan mud is definitely the new "Grunge" the product rocks.
Thanks for the feedback! I've been having a ton of fun experimenting more with color variations. It's really reshaping how I think about highlighting and shading.
And agreed about Devlan mud. Can't wait to use it some more to dirty up a jack!
