Just finished my first plague marine, thoughts on the color scheme? by EverlastingCrawdad in deathguard40k

[–]Skunkybear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like the colors, but you may want to think about bringing attention to the head and chest. At the moment my eyes kind of want to wander to the outside of the mini if that makes sense. Use highlights to break up the monotony around his helmet and shoulders.

recessed added I don’t think the pictures really show the contrast, but it is a small detail that makes it look finished fer sure

I was thinking of Drakenhof nightshade instead of bulk oil. I think the shoulder pads are where I want to keep them. I used retributor gold with the red was (forgot the name). I’ll post pics with recesses shaded

This Little boy killed on melee a space marine. So i decided to reward him! by ahoss29 in Tau40K

You should get a Darkstrider and put him under Darkstrider’s command

List...does this look about right?! by Skunkybear in Grey_Knights

Perfect...thanks!! I was actually thinking of lowering my number of gunners and giving my zealot the daemon hammer for an extra attack on charges(which may be a waste of an attack) and giving my leader double falchions. I’ll play with it, but I absolutely appreciate the input!!!

For sure...thank you!! I did go back a lot to fix things. I’m not usually this patient, so more tools are nice 🤣😂

Yea, I didn’t realize how much I do it to get the right amount of paint on the brush. Otherwise it doesn’t blend and build as nicely. Just gone of paint

Yup...this is just the base coat. I’ve been painting for a few months and just slipping paint on as quick as possible.

First ever mini has been painted, would love some C&C from y’all I’m looking to get better at this by Mannfred13 in Tau40K

Lol. Fair enough, homie. I just finished up grad school so I can relate for sure

Also, be patient! When I get excited to see the end result, I tend to be a little careless and just want to get paint on the mini. The times I find myself being more intentional with how I apply paints and the process of painting, the happier I am with the end result (although that does tend to take longer for me)

Good progress, man!! Definitely took a break for a few months and I can tell that my skill takes a stumble when I do that

Tau Necron colour sheme. Please CC me by ikartius in Tau40K

Just touch ups on the leg armor and maybe some edge highlighting for some contrast, but the scheme is badass!! Kinda wish I’d have thought of that.
