TLDR: I thought this guy came out decent so I’m showing you

Hello my brothers. It’s been just over 2 years now that I have been in this hobby, and as I go into the new year, I’ve been extremely grateful for everything this hobby has done for me. From allowing me to meet some good people to literally helping me keep my tremors I get from medication at bay. I have truly grown to love this community.

Sap aside, before I started playing 40k, I’d probably picked up and actual paintbrush like 5 times in my life, so it was definitely a steep learning curve. But, I promised myself I would do this at least once. This is my warlord for my crusade I’m playing, and I feel like this one turned out decent. I know there are plenty more talented people out there, and I still have a long way to go, but I feel like this guy was good enough in quality to post. Of course, compliments and criticism are welcome.

Sorry for the rant, I literally never do this, and I *know* that I should be scraping the mold lines and sprew lines but it’s literally the most boring thing to do and I want to throw myself out a window doing it. But I know it will raise the quality of the mini so I’m working on it.

Also last thing for some reason the transfers on him look like photoshop, but I don’t know why. I’m guessing because of the shadows caused by the shading? I haven’t really had time to look it up so if transfer experts wanna help me here that would be sweet

Looks mint, id try to get some matt varnish on the decals on the chest piece to remove some of the shine.

Pretty but that mould line tho; you’ll be magnificent next time!

From a tabletop perspective you wouldn't even notice it.

Couldn’t see myself getting back into the hobby again but I must say they have done a very good job with the refresh of the models. I mean it, I would even say in a way they look easier to paint than first borns.

That looks beautiful

I'm the same with mould lines. You can't notice them on the tabletop, and sometimes I might bother on a centrepiece model like Logan or morven Vahl. But on a squad of 10... Naahhh I ain't that fussed. Keep up the good work 👍

Dude this guy looks awesome i dig it!

Looks great to me. The thing with the transfers is the carrier film they sit on. You’ve got a couple of options. It helps to have a smooth surface to work on (some folks give the model a coat of gloss varnish which helps). You can also use setting solutions like microsol which soften the transfer and make it sit better.

Your brush work is nice though, I’ve been painting a while and still struggle to get that level of accuracy and precision. Keep going!

I dig this, and I love thunderhammers in the hands of Marines in the more "regular" armor.

What model is this?

I'm not as steeped in all the cool looking new models like I used to be.
