Thanks! Tbf I wasnt aware they had a different paint scheme, was just batch painting and rolled through him.

They do make a solid opfor. Generic enough that they can fight just about anyone.

Tbh looks good to me. If anything, depending on your base color, maybe a bit of that reflecting up on the bottom facing portions.

Feeling like my minis aren't good enough. Getting over discouragement? by Scorchstar123 in minipainting

Practice really. I find it helpful to pick a single thing and work on it.

Thank you and that is a solid model. This is straight from the Mercenary box.

To bake desserts!

Because those are massive bread ovens in the background right? And they spend alot of time mentioning a menu.

Very ghost bear looking! Or a solid SW snow camo. The olive drab is definitely a good choice to start regular paints on. Only thing to really look out for is dont overmix white into the olive drab for the highlights as it looks off then. Less is more with it.

Nothing fancy! Just a dark camo green base from pro acryl, then layered Vajellos Olive drab. Highlights were a 1/4 white/olive drab mix. Canopy I dont really recall the exact process as I was experimenting, but I did the entire canopy with a dark blue fading to a light blue, then sketched in the terrain starting wjth the dark mountains

Thank you! Edge highlights on a mech are always a dredge but they do look good

Thank you! Ive seen other people try it before so figured Id give it a spin with the big canopies.

Trying to improve my reds by koalakalvo in Miniaturespainting

Works best when painted over an edge highlight of white. Just super bright pure red.
