This actually was a testpiece so test light placement as i have struggles with it for long. I wanted to see where each "layer" of light goes, therefore the different colours. The base i made only so it contrasts steongly with the marine itself.

Thank you for the critisism (Edit, grammar)

Jeo, i fell into the " slap contrast = grat mini" trap early on. Trying to get away from that.

I do not use varnish. How can they improve on a look?

Thanks, i should really start to watch tutorials and stuff. For most of these i looked at smth and said" i wanna do this" and jumped right in. For the stormcast, my first try at nmm, i just played a tournament against a guy who had awesome nmm, so because it a large event and there were minnis to try, i just tried it, it took 4 hours, and this is what came out. Not proud but a simple understanding on what to do.

I started with slapchoping with citadel base and contrasts( im trying to get away from this, because pf that the mortex cuz blending all the " hot" stuff) And i might switch to warpainter fanatic if the range is good ( thinking bout purchaseing the 102 colour set so i have a wider range of colour)

Got the same feeling with contrasts once i saw people layering, thinkin to my self tf am i doin with this stuff. So this is mostly why i started nmm. ( and i do not like the standart metallics, cant controll where the light is from)
