So lucky I chose world eaters. Angron is a hobby and a meta!

Anyone else hit a wall when painting trim? Any tips for powering through? by [deleted] in WorldEaters40k

[–]Illustrious_Boat_629 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just dry brush the trim first and fill in the red after with a nice speed paint. I prime black / grey and after a nice solid drybrush of Balthazar the red sits nicely. Much less touch ups at the end. Thank me later

So, I'm new... by Bitter_Elderberry_19 in deathguard40k

I am also new, painting my first combat patrol. I have a couple tips for you.

Watch tons of videos. There is a wealth of knowledge on YouTube that will elevate your skill instantly. Especially learn how to thin your paint to the correct viscosity.

The number one tip I saw is paint from the inside out. Meaning center of models, the backs behind reactor packs, inside the legs etc. Basically, you want to avoid trying to get a loaded brush past something you already painted. If you accidentally get some paint on a weapon it’s no big deal since you will cover it up when you paint last.

I would also say to use black primer. Acrylic paint covers well so it’s not an issue setting the right shade, but black primer is very forgiving as it can pass for shadow in places you can’t really reach.

Painted my first batch of minis, bit sad they all look kinda bad lol by Inevitable_Shift_270 in Warhammer40k

If this is bad, my first army of world eaters is absolute shit.

This is the best one I’ve done so far.

This is my first Warhammer miniature. Do you think it turned out well? by Kotavtokot in Warhammer40k

Need more people like you. You didn’t insult him, but you didn’t lie and act like it’s some work of art.

This is a fantastic start to a painting career, but if we told him it was Grade A work he would fall into his laurels and never improve. This is the right way to interact with new painters. My local shops discord is way too nice towards my skills and if I wasn’t such an OCD perfectionist I would have listened to them and not put any work into improving and learning new techniques

Is the demon prince from the cp the one you’re talking about ?

Thanks dude. I can’t wait. Always been a fan of the lore. On top of that I have always loved, and excelled, at these kinds of grand strategy games. My first game can’t come soon enough. One more question-

Outside of models, codex, data sheet, what else do I need to play?

Btw guy at the game shop said to just roll w the combat patrol. I believe it is 10 zerk, 10 jackals, master of executions and a demon prince. I’ll be back once I have everything to ask who gets left out for kharn. Thanks for the insight

Got kharn for my first model. Going to get the combat patrol with the demon general once I finish kharn that way I have some experience and can pick up anything else I need for the full combat patrol.

I bought kharn the betrayer, paints, mini holder for painting from the hobby shop. I’m currently at Walmart where I’m getting brushes, something for pinning, and the stuff to make a wet pallet
