I wanted the swampy look at first but I cant figure out what kind of flock to use to make it look right. As for the dead grass I tried it on the skeleton. The color is okay but it turns out the flock is really just too short in the fibres. It wont stand up like the green I used on the elves. It just lies flat like someone dropped a handfull of hay. I might have to find another brand - crap though it is to have payed for a full box that then turns out not to fulfill your needs...Prince of Spires wrote:I like it. An improvement perhaps could be an extra color between the green and the white highlight. Having that extra light layer in between would take the ethereal feeling a bit further I think.
As for the base. You could turn it into a graveyard kind of thing. Or add more dead bits to it. Or, something swampy (high grass, flock etc). Or, since this is GW after all, MORE SKULZ!

As for the extra color. I actually think you are right. The sharp highlight was on purpose but I think a drybrush of Celestra Grey before the wash might do the trick.
