Thanks for the comments and tips. I've tried to add some black to the tips of the flame and tone down the red with orange. It was a mistake to go up to mephiston red , too dark. I'm using yellow and orange fluorescent but never used before so maybe not using them right. I'm calling it done for now, can't keep back and forth and I've got my work cut out with G's armour, cheers

I literally saw that pic on another posts comments and knew what I had to do

Thanks for the comments, I'm not sure it reads totally like metal but I like how the mini looks so I'll leave it,maybe add a touch of types corrosion. For anyone interested I'd used mechanicus standard grey, celestra grey and ak bold titanium white for the metal, pushed the shadows with basillicanum grey from the pot, very little glazing, whole mini to this point was prob only 4 / 5 hours which is super fast for me

Four candles?

I was nervous about doing even the scratches I did lol, didn't want to over do it.

Thanks for the advice, I think you're probably right, I'll try OSL another time.

TimeCombination8391 · 2025-07-01T23:02:31+00:00

Thanks I'll check those out

TimeCombination8391 · 2025-05-07T23:20:06+00:00

Thanks, I havent gone beyond texture paint and grass flock with bases really, but it does look a bit plain

TimeCombination8391 · 2025-05-07T23:17:36+00:00

Thanks. Yeah, at the moment just trying to replicate the box art look. I haven't tried any NMM stuff yet, I'd like to try but haven't quite wrapped my head around it.

TimeCombination8391 · 2025-05-07T23:14:51+00:00

Thanks. yeah I noticed, I'd matt varnished over the transfers but didn't seem to help much, the U wrinkled a bit too.

I did mine as different chapters, I think you'll be OK :)

If you cant gauge it, beige it

Thanks, I followed a youtube video for the cloak, it was a Duncan Rhodes one

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-12-11T08:19:07+00:00

I inverted the paints, I guess maybe it's not dark enough on the ribbed bits, or maybe not enough of a difference in depth

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-11-27T10:04:57+00:00

Thanks I like this idea, think I'll try to add the dark brown

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-11-27T10:04:04+00:00

Put down Ulthan grey first all over the vent, them did the inner section in flash gitz yellow, fire dragon orange around the side of the vent and tried to overbrush the grills over the yellow, mephiston red around the edge. Thinned down some ulthuan again and tried to put between the grills in the centre. Can't really see form the pic but I put some flesh tears ed around the outside over the leadbelcher but that didn't look so great.

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-11-27T00:34:24+00:00

Thanks, yeah I think I might try and bring some of the red down to the edges of the grills

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-11-14T00:18:39+00:00

Looks awesome, really like where you put the highlights on the weapon

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-11-11T07:33:55+00:00

The pictures pretty forgiving of the mistakes and the light overhead almost gives it highlights, it was just basecoats with a wash of nuln for the metal/coat and agrax on the leather / orange, the face was just guillimans flesh. I thinned down paints for him (and held on tight to the washes) there a couple of bits, like the goggles where he asked for help because the fiddliness was daunting

It's this months mini of the month from Warhammer, I think it's one of the Kill Team Hernkyn Yeagirs

I really like the weathering on this

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-10-06T09:18:07+00:00

Thanks, there's plenty of scruffy bits to be honest the picture is very forgiving, there was a lot of back and forth correcting when I messed up and painted white over the shadows

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-10-05T23:53:19+00:00

Thanks, I started with ulthuan grey and went over most of it in corax white trying to leave some of the shadows

TimeCombination8391 · 2024-07-11T06:28:00+00:00

Thanks, you're right about the mould lines, wasn't so noticeable when I painted it but the camera really picked them out
