You're quite welcome for that. I can't think of a single reason why I would have one at all. <shudder>
Well, I started with black primer and then coated over with FolkArt's Antique Gold. I should have done a white primer or a white drybrush first, as it took three coats (at least) of that Antique Gold to cover adequately.
Once that was finished, I used a couple of coats of GW Yellow Ink. That smoothed everything together nicely. I then used Ice Blue with a light Blue Ink (GW) over it to get the mottling of the "mouths" and the inner wings of the transports.
Before beginning this technique, set up an area where you can be free from worry about back spray, and if you've got some rubber gloves, that'll help!
Then, (and I'll only give you the ultimate result, the other two techniques worked, but not as well), I took my usual drybrushing brush and dipped it into GW black ink. Shake off most of the access and flick the brush onto your backdrop (I used a pizza box with the lid propped open) so to avoid big splashes (I still had some, <shrugs> "organic effect"?). Once the spray is misting evenly sized spatters, hit the miniatures with them. Ink dries flat (texture-wise), so it won't create raised surfaces on the model, or obscure detail.
Afterwards, I did another follow-up coat of GW Yellow Ink after the spray dried and then finished out the rest of the model.
And, in unrelated news, those Sharlin's are AMAZING!
