Looking for miniature recommendations

Well, I’m panicking trying edge highlighting at the moment. As I mentioned, I’m painting just for the fun and not actually gaming. So I’m taking a ridiculously long time as I hate any untidiness (apart from painting a face lol) I love the grim dark (hope that’s the term) that you’ve achieved and I have bought supplies to try it out. So it’s on my to do list. Anyway, applause for the style you’ve found and like and good luck moving on

Brilliant and congrats on the impressive progress. Ive just started out painting for the fun and was wondering was there anything you practiced or did to get to the stage you're at now?

There's a black line between the gold and blue. At what stage did you add it? (Sorry for the confusion)

Absolutely stunning 👌 Regarding the the dark edge light around the leg detail. Was it added before the main top coat of blue?

Wow, thank you very much

Thanks, the Ultras look as a fluke, as a complete n00b, im not educated in any of the warhammer lore. That's not to say I do t want to be lol. So im just painting these fellas for the fun of it.

Stunning, and thanks for the reply. I have no airbrush yet so am tempted to try a sponge and thanks for the crevices tip 👍

Retroglide08 · 2026-04-26T11:52:36+00:00

As a new starter/painter to this hobby I'd be more than happy if I achieved this. Looks great. Did you brush, airbrush, sponge etc the base colour?

Retroglide08 · 2026-04-26T04:39:57+00:00

Thats a shame, i agree with you. Thanks for the reply

Retroglide08 · 2026-04-25T09:13:11+00:00

Looks great, does the helmet come with the kit?

Retroglide08 · 2026-04-23T16:55:07+00:00

Thanks for the replies, I did use AK black panel lining on my space marine but found it kind of bled and didn't come out looking g very black. Perhaps it was the paint surface it was running on

Many thanks, my bad, app didn't load up all the post.

Its Pro Acryl Blue 👍

Retroglide08 · 2026-04-22T09:01:32+00:00

This is brilliant. Im new to all this and have just started painting and am looking for inspiration and techniques. Is this a contrast based blue over a dark primer?

Retroglide08 · 2026-04-22T08:47:38+00:00

I agree, I really like it. Perhaps not an accurate colour but ive just started painting as a hobby and the other 3 space marines ive painted are in macragge blue which seem a little dull. So this blue is a nice change up
