Nemesis – Painting the Intruders – Part 3: Adults

Posted on April 30, 2023

Adults are the most numerous intruders and come in 4 different poses, all interesting and very reminiscent of the original ‘Alien’ creature.

The body was treated in an identical way to the creepers with progressive and narrower drybrush of blue over zenithal highlights and metallic drybrush.
WIth a final drybrush layer of dry white.
The head is painted GW Contrast Black Templar.
Upper appendages ligaments are dry brushed with GW Thousand Sons and Temple Guard Blue.
Lower membranes, the mouth and the auditive orifices are painted GW Screaming Pink, washed with GW Druchi Violet and dry brushed/line brushed with GW Emperor Children lightened with 1/5 white.
The debris on the base (which grating was painted identically to that of the creepers – see previous entry) are painted medium grey (I suggest craft paint), washed with a customer wash (thank you Black Magic Craft – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5U7UFFuX-Q), dry brushed with the same grey to which was added 2/5 white and finally dirtied with Typhus Corrosion.
