    I just got my Wildfire box and had a color scheme picked out but am not too sure about it. I wasn't in the mood for painting a black and red army, and thought the Comic book bad guy theme of yellow green would fit them. But I'm having second thoughts. It look decent on the old seed soldiers test models, but looks off on the newer NOX models.

    Suggestion and feedback are appreciated. I tend to do a lot of dark colors and earth tones. And wanted something more colorful, but this looks off to me. It may just be me.

    First off, I like how you made a comparison pic of the old and new Shas. It helps showcase the differences in their design changes plus help those of us on the fence get a good look at the newer sculpts.

    As for the color scheme, how about look at poison frogs? They are colorful and deadly which could be exactly what you are looking for. If you'd like I'll post a few different species of colorful frogs so you can get an idea of what colors you might like.

    I put a bit more effort into the yellow/green theme and it's getting better. I was putting too much faith in the contract paints. I added some nuil oil on some of the green panels and the different shaded makes it work better.

    @Redfaint That does look similar to a blue+black poison frog. I think the first one would great but it is always best to see how the scheme looks in person first.
    @Cannon Fodder Can you post a pic showing the changes? I'm curious as to how well Nuil Oil enhanced the model.

    i think that the shas are suprised "nacked". In my interpretationens the Arms and the Belly are all Skin, that's why it has to be the same color as the head (in my opinion)

    That does make sense. I can see it working out on a well painted model. @Cannon Fodder seems to have followed your logic judging by his two above pics.

    I just hope in the end my shas look not to bright. For the other Models i use grey for the clothes. Nox only have bare skin and armor.

    I don't think you will have to worry about that. Your colors shouldn't come out too bright with the shade you presented.

    You can see I darkened some of the panels on the back to give it more depth. While the contracts paints offer shading its not enough in some places.

    So far the most satisfying. Caliban. Backward spider legs? were tinted with red.

    Gwailo got his customized base of Nanoscreen.

    Details now being added.. since its kinda tiring after work, I think it will need some time finishing Gwailo.

    Awesome minis, though.

    @ObviousGray I love your Nanoscreens. I picked up some clear resin and molds, and was going to try and have a clear shield with and air brushed stencil on it. I'm having doubts if it will work. Where did you get yours?

    In case anyones interested My remote is done using the Basilicanum Grey contrast paint, compared to @ObviousGray Black Templar.

    Mostly done with my Shasvasti. I really wasn't happy with the remotes and just reprimed them The green worked better but after taking a photo of them I see the shading needs work. I figured the Speculo killer would look terrible in green so just went with the CB colors. I still haven't decided on the bases yet.
