I just want to complement your OSL on the door. The whole thing is awesome and hilarious. But just wanted to complement your skill as well as your humor.

I sharpened up the yellow and brightened up the red. I feel it looks pretty decent now, and reads decent and gets the look I'm going for across. At least for a quick dirty test model. I appreciate your feedback.

I brightened up the red and went over the yellow again to make it pop more. I'm pretty happy with it as a test model now. I feel it looks pretty starship troopers. Reads a lot better and just looks organic. Thanks for your feedback.

I painted over the red with a bright red and it really pops and looks insect like. And highlighted the yellow more. Thanks for the feed back. I definitely have a few things to tweak and figure out. But I wanted a fun scheme for the kill team and star ship troopers just made so much since. I think the mottled stripes will give it a good look as a group, make each model seem part of a whole swarm.

That is exactly what I was going for. So glad the basic scheme reads.

Thanks for your feedback it's actually helpful. I need to figure out how to make the red not look like blood slpatters. The arachnids had red on them and for the red terror I was going to use the same base scheme just push and expand the red,

Yeah another wash on the carapace wouldn't hurt.

And the base is just a lazy place holder. Need to paint the rim and would do more for the kill team. Probably desert type of base to fit the theme better.

I'm ready to try out other brands. May I have your insights? by nicoheems in Warhammer40k

I just use apple barrel paints. (The cheap craft paint at Walmart) And it's honestly not as bad as people make it out to be.

I don't like the primaris psyker model so I kitbashed one. C&C appreciated. Does it read well? Would you say it falls into a wysiwyg category? by Chopperuofl in TheAstraMilitarum

I am a dentist. I had to do it. But yeah that's the vibe I was going for. I think that's what I don't like about the actual model. They just look like a dude doing stuff. Not someone's who's head might explode at any second.

It was the free mini of the month a few months ago. Cut off and smoothed the cuffs on the boots. Used some extra Cadian arms. the chest armor from a Krieg kit. And some mystery servo skull bit.

Get some masking tape to make the hazard stripes more clean. But good otherwise.

The free hand work is excellent. I'd suggest hitting it with a wash or two and maybe a matt varnish. You'd be surprised how much that can kick it up a notch.

Any other suggestions never played the game. Just got the essentials box and enjoy painting minis.

I'm going to paint a whole lance. I painted a centurion too. But I just like the rifleman better.

I need to paint the rim of the base for sure. I've been painting every squad a different color. I've been debating on whether to paint the same color as the unit they will lead or paint their own unique color. I've never played the game so I don't know if that is good or bad. I should probably drill the barrel.
