Its a really small difference, so its fine by me.. Oh, and Scorpion Green is the equivilant of Moot green (cant remember the...

How did you get that lacquered effect? I thought I used to have some lacquered paints by GW, can't remember if I ever did, they're nowhere to be found :( What do you mean by laquered effect? do you mean the green armour? If you do, its rather easy: 1. Dark Angels Green over black undercoat 2. broad...

So far it looks great! How are you doing scales on the arm/shoulder part? I was thinking to modify my 6th edition Phoenix Guard and add scale armor over legs....don't like those mini skirts type of outfit on them. Scalemail is rather easy to make - there are a lot of good guides out on the internet...
