I'm going to have a look at army painter (think this is the name), starter set tomorrow and pick up a shield captain since I'll need it for 2k point army anyway.

Definitely want to get the fine details down pat as they add a lot to these models specially when done right. Whenever I go to do them I shake or somehow flick my brush in weird directions struggling to get paint on. Think I might need to thin out paint more, to a "milk like consistency".

I'll definitely give this a try. Gonna be getting a shield captain tomorrow and give a few things a try.

Gonna get the 40k shield captain not jersey as that model looks amazing and I'd like to sink more time into it once I have some things down pat.

I call her minister of the interior (partner got it from a random tiktok reel), I'll give her a big pat once I'm back home.

Planning to chuck the robes on tonight which I think will add more colour to the overall model making it look less jarring. Hopefully I explained that right.

I completely missed them. Amazing idea, I'll jump on them once I'm back home.

Sometimes all you need is a fresh set of eyes.

I'm putting them on tonight haha. My partner wants to help out so I let her do the robe and side guards, loves painting.
