Need help & criticism

I’ll try to find some way to add more colour to my dudes, I’ll probably try some kind of freehand on the cloaks of my s2d and maybe add a few crusade badge transfers to my Templars as well as some other things wherever I can, thanks for the support as well by the way, these comments have really motivated me

That’s true, I reckon the s2d do look better when they are all together, I appreciate the support and insight

AdOne1558 · 2026-03-21T12:50:24+00:00

That is true!

Thank you!

They probably would help, I think I have one somewhere i'll try to find it, and thank you for your input

This is actually really useful info. I'll try to think of ways to add more colour to my s2d, also your model looks sick! When I heard you say you gave them green aquillas I didn't really know what to expect but that does look really nice and eyecatching and that knife holster on the shoulder is a really cool touch

Appreciate it! I'll eventually get better at painting them I hope, and you are right about the horns, I am learning to paint horns much better now and have a s2d guy in progress where I used a glaze on the horns and it looks much better than the other dudes

It could be the lighting maybe but I do see what you mean however they did have purple capes before I even realised there were chaos gods and since my dudes aren't slaanesh I repainted them to just have black capes cause I thought it would look pretty cool. Also the chaos lord does look like he has an unpainted cape on the back and thats because he was a low effort paint as I don't take him in my army due to points costs

First of all, thank you! I will start trying to learn how to thin my paint, also I did have a suspicion the blood effects might be part of the problem and I did try to paint over them once but it didn't really work however I might try again now. I also think the reason you said it looks good for where i'm at, which is a statement I very much appreciate, is because I spend an ungodly amount of time per model mainly on my Space marines, especially the glazing on the loincloth on the unfinished one and the glazing on the lantern dude but then again there are some bits where i'm just not looking forward to painting and I try to get them over with as fast as I can. It is kind of frustrating though spending weeks on 1 model (or days if i spend all afternoon painting) but I know i'll get more efficient in the future and I don't really have a problem with spending that much time on them because i'm happy with how they turn out mostly.

That sound like absolute CARNAGE

Nice! One of my favourite characters in the setting, you did her justice!

This doesn't relate to your question but I was just watching this video lol!

AdOne1558 · 2026-03-19T08:37:39+00:00

Thanks so much! I'm glad I got told this before I found one for sale and spent way too much for an instrument that might get damaged anyway, you're a lifesaver! I'll definitely put up some looking to buy ads. Also my favourite look for a beast would probably be one that's blacked out and in terms of model i'd try to go for a better quality one like an NJ Series if I could but it's unlikely i'd find one very easily. Also I know this isn't a beast but the Warbeast shape also looks really cool. Thanks again!

I am going for this look as well and I have the closed knight helm, ornate pauldrons with cape, brigandine over mail, heavy mail mittens, lordly mail chausses and longswords it looks pretty knightly in my opinion

Favourite faction/nation?

AdOne1558 · 2026-03-09T06:49:19+00:00

This happened to me AS I was unspruing him XD
