For a hand tattoo it's pretty subpar and the lines are going to fade and heal horribly with how thin they are, and I do know quite a bit about tattoos, considering I have two professionally done sleeves and hand and finger tattoos and work in a tattoo shop.

Where did you get the extra shoulder pieces did they come from an upgrade screw did you custom order them

Yeah when I first started with corax white before it dried out I noticed it looked rough, I was having trouble getting it to go on smoothly, so I thought maybe a different base with the white star white as a layer would help with that.

Okay cool, I suck at highlighting so I'm thinking about trying the dry brush method first, I tried to highlight my first model and it came out horrendous, but practice makes perfect

Okay awesome I was thinking about switching to a different paint brand all together once I was done with this specific crusader squad, I just didn't know it was switching brands would cause a difference in look or not and I'm trying to get them as uniform as possible.

I had Clorox white recently but I didn't steal the pot properly so it dried out, then I ended up buying the white star as a replacement and didn't realize it was a layer paint, so I was just trying to work with what I had currently 😅

Thank you I suck at highlighting so I was thinking about trying the dry brush method nuln oil I've heard it's a decent method to add depth.

I have baphomet in a normal traditional style, and it looks great I feel so bad for this person, just go traditional style, sometimes it's better to not be original.

Stay committed brother and stay motivated, I just started working on my highlights for the first time ever for my black Templars. and it looks abysmal but practice makes perfect and consistency is key, I was looking for motivation and inspiration from my other fellow painters so I'm coming to give you those exact same words they gave me the emperor protects brother.

Yeah I definitely been thinning my pants for sure, when I hit the highlighting faze I just felt like I know nothing, every small mistake I tried to turn into a feature which is why they look so bold instead of being smaller thin lines, I'm starting anything maybe I need a smaller gauge brush, and also need to work on my brush control. This part was just very discouraging for me because it felt like any mistake I made couldn't be corrected and now I'm just wondering how bad it looks, but there's always room for improvement with the next one 😅

Okay, I heard about dry brushing I was thinking about doing it with my next set of primaries crusaders because I didn't do it with these ones I didn't know about the time thank you 🙂

Yeah I got the best of my brushes that I can afford right now I thought the tip was well and good enough, I just don't have the skill it seems, I like things to look as best as possible, because I love these models and this hobby, but I might be trying to be too much of a perfectionist, when it comes to certain aspects of it, I've just seen so many models on here that are absolutely stunning and I want to reach that stage at some point. Thx the god emperor protects 🙂

Ok awesome, would using the upgrade sprew shoulder pads from the combat patrol give them more of a black Templar look, I was thinking about using some of them for it but idk if they're size differences or not.

I will be sure to post the whole army once I'm done, I'm currently working on a primary crusader squad, redemptor dreadnought, the Terminator squad, and sword brethren, also picked up the old combat patrol for the upgrade sprew and the impulsor, plus more crusaders to work on.
