wow! so nicely done! please share some of your colors and techniques!
I was using mostly Citadel paints. Base coated the models in black. For the marine´s clothes using Kommando Khaki. Beastial brown and Ghoul grey for the camuflage patterns and wash with brown grey mix again. The armor is painted black and I was using salamander green for the color. Highlights are mixed the green with Kommando Khaki and goblin green a bit in differnt brghtness layers. I was a bit lazy to do the camuflage pattern on the armor because I thought the models might look a bit too "untidy." So I left it just green.
The Stalkers are painted in beastial brown, highlighted with several layers of getting brighter paints; First layer was hobgoblin orange, then some occer tone and last bleached bone. Afterwards they got washes again with black, brown mix to tone them down again.
And the infants I just painted black, hightlight layer 1 with moody blue, second layer with moody blue/Kommando Khaki mix. And a 3.rd layer with same mix just brighter for the especially "high spots." Then washed again with black. In the end they got varnished to look more shiny again.
Some of my colors are ages old. More than 20 years. So maybe the currently available palette is totally differnt. The old Citadel paints were brilliant and the pods much better than today. Those paints are some decades old and still fine. The new pods are dried up after months already
