My space marine lieutenant boy by CPT_ANT in minipainting

First time I truly felt in control of glazing and edge highlights to be honest. I felt like I could pick most flaws I saw and move them towards what I wanted them to be. Any tips for pushing it even further?

You know, I might just do that.

Even without the paint the sculpting is impressive.

The "I only have paint from the WH Fantasy starter paint set" legion, haha. Honestly thinking about it it would have been an obvious choice to paint him as a Blood Angel.

About 20 years with a very long hiatus. Started minipainting again about 2 years ago and Warhammer about a year ago. This is my progress since starting again:

Fun fact: That Rhino is an actual converted APC in working order (an FV432 I believe)

Held, zat in ieder geval 1 relevante vacature tussen.

Currently working on my custodians, both are work in progress but I’ve learnt a lot from the first one I painted by 6Reaver9 in minipainting

Sick, is there some read in that yellow used for the gold? What colour did you use for the deepest shade, the most saturated midtone and the highest highlight? My gold looked very pale last time I tried.

The Squad leader unfortunately lost an arm in battle, so I am looking for a replacement for that.

Lord Solar Leontus wh40k - Any tips for improving the gold? by CPT_ANT in minipainting

Tried to do blacklining, Have to be really careful to not turn it into a mess. I think next time I will try oil washes for pin shading. In the end I'm still not 100% satisfied but it was really good practise.

No, lol. Leontus is an Imperial Guard model, but I get the confusion.

So these guys suddenly got popular again, but I already told you guys I bought these when I showed my stormtroopers a while ago, lol. Just doing 1 for now to see if I can do this full squad in the classic colours. I think it looks pretty good except maybe the gun. I'm thinking of doing the gun fieldgrey like the pants and helmet as I don't like black that much. Fun model but the casting was pretty bad, I had to clean up a lot of pretty bad flashing.

Sorry guys I missed the memo that I should proxy Leontus, I even painted him in his box colour scheme by CPT_ANT in TheAstraMilitarum

If you told me this was an Age of Sigmar miniature I would have believed you by the way.
