GW-Sicarius - WIP

[AkhRa]

Hello everyone,
This is the very first wip that I post here.
I\'m painting the GW model of the Ultramarine Sicarius.
Actually I\'ve almost finished the head, I have only to paint the unshaven beard and hair, to brighten a bit the scar, and to finish the metal tubes on the head.
I know I\'ll take a lot of time to paint this model since in this period I do not have much spare time.
Anyway this is the picture:

Is it just the pic or is his skin really green? Technically it looks good so far, but the color is ghastly.

You\'re right, there is a bit of green in the skin tone. I wanted to create a very pallid and almost sick tone... I imaged this guy right after a very hard battle...
By the way I have to thnak Beltane for the colors, and I have to say that I really like the final effect.
Anyway, if you find flaws please tell me

The skin looks really cool - is the green mixed in the \"skinpaints\" or applied in another way?

Yes. For the shadows I used a bit of caiman green (and a very little ultramarine blu) with dwarf flesh. Then I added more and more dead flesh and a little of white.

dead flesh is a color from what range?

Vallejo Game Color, it\'s like GW Rotting Flesh.
