The genesteelers went really fast. I debated on taking a week off to increase the gaming time, but I wanted to start painting up the GSC Acolyte hybrids. Since this was the first time I was painting codex color genesteelers, I got started right away. In the end I am glad I did, I repainted the genesteeler carapace 3 times before I got the effect I was looking for. It also showed that the Kraken color pallet was very quick to paint. The Acolytes have a much larger pallet, about 3 times as many colors are being used. The paint time for the unit is much longer with the Acolytes.
The major colors are all on and have the first layer of highlight. The arm carapace is done, I like the outcome of this version. I am thinking the flares/grenades will be red with yellow highlights. It should bring "pop" points to the model. I am also going with the overall Hivecult color scheme from the GSC codex. Since I have over 30 to paint. I am thinking 15 with this skin tones, then do another 15 with the Hive fleet Kraken colors.
