The Bog Trogs are coming along -- rather, a Bog Trog is coming along. Several washes later, here's how he's looking:
Yes, that's another not-a-lizard project to the left. I found an old Hive Tyrant in my garage that I'd never attached arms to; I cleaned it, added magnets to it and then took an inventory of the possible weapons and biomorphs it can have. Eventually, it'll all get magnetized, but that's a ways away -- there are way, way too many options in 40K games.
The bronze is done on the legplates; it's not flashy, but it's OK. The skin's been washed / highlighted to about where I want it, and the face is pretty much done.
The modesty cloth is close to being done, too; it's going to need the tears darkened up a bit. You can see that the fins on the arms and the feet aren't done yet; they're always a bit of frustration on these types of models, because they're very visible while being pretty uninteresting. On the leader of the Bog Trogs, I'm going to play with glazing them to try to get a translucent look, but these regular troopers don't need that level of detail.
You can really see here how much cleaner this Trog is, and it's all thanks to proper priming. The scales will need another layer of lighter green on them, especially on the shoulders; I'm also going to need to make the color gradients on his crest and swept-back whiskers more obvious.
