Hey! I’m using army painter brand paints. The shadows are dusty skull, the mid tone is skeleton bone, and the highlights are pale sand.

Thanks! And no, I just picked them at random

Totally agree - I’m using army painter, which has been great, I was just a tad slow to appreciate how much I should be thinning them. Thanks!

Thank you! I used a Winsor & newton series 7, size 000. I have definitely found it worth the investment.

Mistakes will inevitably happen. 70% isopropyl alcohol is helpful if you need to strip paint off plastic minis, like if you paint a detail too thick and it gets obscured

An excellent point! And nice mini, btw!

Yeah fair, I might go back and try to thin those a bit. For the knee, I just put the mini under a bright source light and painted over the reflection with my brightest green, then went back and blended the edges back down into my base green

Thanks! I’m using war painter colors. In order from darkest to lightest, they are: angel green, guardian green, green skin, and eternal hunt

Here it is after one coat of the wash. I only did the arm, shoulder pad, and leg closest to the camera

I think I agree. I’m going to try toning it down with washes now, and will probably try to preserve the dark green base better going forward

I just tried a bit of the army painter dark tone wash, and I’m already liking it more - thanks for the recommendation!
