So do I, this is a mk 4 venerable, I hope I do him justice, I'll magnatize him but for the entry he will have multi melta and c.c.w with flamer, next month may well be a plastic iron clad gathering dust or termies.
That particular shade is Army Painter Alien Purple, darkened with their purple wash, I have become a fan of their stuff.

I used 4ply medical gauze, You can get it in any pharmacy, a little goes a long way, I have also seen a guy cameoflauge a Tau using small squares of kitchen roll dipped in thinned paint and then layered onto the model.
Yeah the poses are all squatting for a poo to be fair. I had very few marines, the only other guy I knew who was into warhammer was a few years older than me, and moved onto other hobbies of the xx chromosome type, the loser! The banner my friend is actually a cut out from White Dwarf. I never had Rogue Trader and unbelievably binned all my original warhammer fantasy battle books years ago, no one in my area that I knew had the faintest interest in it or at least never admitted it to it, I was a solo nerd. Only got back into the hobby when I went to Iraq and found White Dwarf on sale in the Naafi, a sure sign from the gods to ammend my wayward ways
Its gauze used for wound dressing, cut into strips tacked onto the mini, then watered down paint on the gauze, which also helps stick it to the mini
I think I will, I wanted a utilitarian real world look with the furniture on the weapons green and metal parts black, but as you can see in the pic it very dark. The boltguns are not glued in as I was toying with the idea of either converting bolters or buying umbra pattern ones
