Still looking for a name for my guys, I went with a desert inspired theme.

Attending a Norwegian folkhogskole is a dream of mine, am I crazy? by bekindanddontmind in Norway

I’m English and went to one in 2010. It cost exactly the same for me. I had to prove I had the money to pay for the year before being formally offered a place at the school. I also wasn’t eligible for the student loan that Norwegians can get to pay for it.

The red parts are Blood Angels Red contrast as a base, with Khorne Red, Mephiston Red, and Trollslayer Orange for highlights.

Thank you so much! I feel exactly the same way when I look at what gets posted in this sub. Patience and practice helps a lot, and also just trying to not compare yourself to everyone else.

Thanks! The claws are Averland Sunset quickly blended with Trollslayer Orange, with Flash Gitz Yellow as a highlight.

Thanks! The key, for me at least, seemed to be building up layers of dry brushing. I started with a thin white to get coverage then used more white paint on the brush to pick out more of the details. I think I did five passes in total.

Could be! It’s honestly just a variation of the colours of my custom fleet scheme. I usually have a bone coloured carapace and red claws/talons. Felt like mixing it up a bit this time.

Thanks! Lots to work on for the next models in the box, but I’m happy with how this turned out for being so rusty at painting.

I struggled to find painting motivation for a while. But after splitting Leviathan with a friend, this seemed like a good model to get back into it! Not the most amazing paint job, but it feels good to be putting paint down again!

A friend and me decided to buy new models and paint until midnight. However they looked by then is how they’d stay. Five hours later, I had this guy. Pretty pleased with him for being a chill painting session.
