I am a lot happier with the Legion beast flesh now but am now having trouble matching the colour of the Legion armour, this is not helped by the fact that my pLylyth is in the display case of my local FLGS!

After my work Christmas lunch today I got home a little early and did a bit of work on the spell martyr. I am not sure about the red cloth and am considering repainting it to an off white, something similiar to the colour of my Legion beast carapace.
Have also put another wash over the Stinger and Raek.
I do like the red though, I just dont think it will go with the rest of the army!
