Uncouth?
Sod that, they look class! I\'d personally use less \'extreme\' colour of marine chapter, but the Stealer looks great.
Dipping seems to give quite an organic look to models - it\'s really well suited to Nids.

To be honest the contrast between drippy slimey nasty beasty and Aaarghh!!! my eyes hurt shiny space marine looks great.
Only change i could suggest would be to have the stealer looking at its prey, i think this would help improve the composition somewhat.

Dipping for nids is a great way to go. Just make sure you get some matta varnish to remove the shininess.
Man that mantis marine is bright!!! Personally the positioning of the stealer is awkward. shouldn\'t he be looking down at the marine as he\'s killing him?
Right now it looks kind of like he\'s climbing over a marine which would be ok if the marine was dead, but he\'s still alive and it looks like he fell because his jetpack was too heavy
No complaints about the painting/dipping tho, they look top notch

Thanks for the comments guys -
the idea was to have him clambering over teh marine - but i like the idea of moving his head to be looking at him, i\'ll have a play around.
I know the marine is brght, but i\'ve always wanted to paint a mantis warrior (but not a whole army!) so it seemed like a good excuse.

I think it looks great. The marine is a little bright (ok more than a little bright) and could use some shading down I think...
As for the marine alive the way I see it is in less than half a second that marine doesn\'t have a head anymore and that gene stealer is \"off to kill more.\"

I\'ve got a sick mind. When I first saw this I thought, \"Wow looks like a nid and a SM are getting it on!\"
But now I see the nid is just killing him.. my mistake.

It\'s a head from the chaos warrior sprue, I think.
