Really pleased with this one, it fell together nice. Had trouble with the black clothing but the squig came out spot on (for me anyway). Any one got advice on painting black (its a bitch to make look half decent)

Not a bad piece, harking back to the days when GW actually made fun pieces for their armies.
Photo's a bit yellow cast, but the whole thing looks pretty decent. I'd have suggested that the Gobbo and the snots could have benefited from being slightly differing green tones. Perhaps amore acidy green for the gobbo and a softer green for the snots.

As for painting Black, lost of tips:-

1) Start by painting a mix of the Darkest Grey you have and Black.
Shadow with pure black, highlight with more grey to the black.

2) Add Bleached bone slowly to the black as a highlight, gives a worn & weathered feel to the black.

3) Add Darkest blue to the black as highlight, softens the highlight and helps create a more richer tone.

4) Buy Vallejo Model Colour Black Glaze, use as a thin intermediary wash helps slow down the transitions between highlights, without going overboard.

Thanks for the black tip, as for the two green skins I started the green for the snot different and it came out the same doh!

Ditto for the black tip, been thinking about black. Must find something to paint black (other than marines). Also must go back to my WIP and do a massive update.

Black sucks to paint. Especially en masse. And boo to those who paint black, highlight grey, and call it done...
