Looking for some inspiration for painting my monsters. About to finish assembling my second hydra (that makes it 2 hydras, a kharibdyss and a dragon so far) and I'm hoping to get started with a bit of painting sometime soon. My army hasn't got much of a colour scheme as the only unit larger than 5 models in my 2400 point list is 30 witches, so I'm not entirely sure how to paint my monsters. I'm fairly certain that I want them all to be differently coloured, but I'm considering swapping the witches for corsairs and going for a sea themed army meaning that dark blues/greens/greys could be a good idea.
Anyway, if anyone has seen a well painted hydra or two anywhere on the internet, it would be greatly appreciated if you could share it here

Re: Monsters can be pretty too.
A good paint job can really make a lot of difference on a large model.

Re: Monsters can be pretty too.
Okay that flame breath thing is just cool. Any idea how that was done?
Also quite like the colours on the first one, might go for a similar sort of thing with one of mine. Probably use a darker greeny blue though.

Re: Monsters can be pretty too.
This topic has the flame tutorial by jeff, both sculpting and painting...
Edit: Would anyone know why the pictures aren't showing? they were good last week, now i get a small box saying "direct linking denied"
If you can see it though, good for you

Oh wow, I didn't respond to this! I could swear I had. Sorry about that, T.D Thanks for the link, I did take a look at it when you replied. Must've just forgotten to comment on it after that :')
Sadly enough Blackphantom, I can't see the pics although I'm sure the guide will be a fair bit of help regardless, thanks
