Got an hour or so in today and went after some higher highs and lower lows on the coppery NMM. I am getting there I think. I do see where I need to edge highlight along some of the outside of the armor panels. Kind of focused on the inside. The claw is coming out ver nice and it you can tell it is sculpted with NMM in mind. It has lots of little chinks and what not right where the light falls.
I went ahead and added a little green to the pale flesh and grey highlights to make it a little more Nurgly. I had really good luck adding a tiny bit of blue to the Sword Maiden's sword that I thought I would experiment with it here. I'll try and do a little more edge highlight on the copper and then move back to the flesh, I really want it pop.
Do you guys think I am on the right track? What about some (more) verdigris on the copper?

I have questions about the armpit growth thingy too. I feel confident doing a wash to fill in small crannies with dark over light but light over dark is not working out for me. Are there any tricks? I would love to have it black with a very subtle green inner glow but it might end up being bone with a violet wash...
And finally, what color am I supposed to paint the gun barrels and smoke stacks? Ultra rusty? Maybe real clean steel with bloody splotches?
TMM? Checkers? Glowing blue Crystals?
