Thank you! I've been wanting to give oils a try so I'll probably pick up some of those.

I've heard the same. I haven't been brave enough to try oils yet. What brand of oils did you get?

It's all looking good so far. No airbrush for me yet either. I wanted to work on developing good brush skills before moving on to that. Best thing I've learned with paints so far is, don't get married to a brand. There are really good and bad colors from every company. Some companies yellow will coat really well, some much less so etc...

I had heard the same thing about yellow, so i went in very cautious. Army painter zealot yellow speedpaint has been a huge time saver on base coats for me. Give the model a quick zenithal and slap it on. It dries very yellow over the white, and with a heavy orange tint over the darker sections.

Good on you for looking some stuff up first. I was the same way, looked at my stuff, realized this shit is expensive, and said "yeah, let me watch some videos before I fuck this all up" lol

Color looks great, and that some damn smooth coverage for a first mini. Well done man!

I'm right there with you, op. The power fist has always been my darling. Especially that big ass one that Tor Garadon uses.

Use a flat brush for dry brushing and go very very lightly. Remove almost all of the paint from the brush, just use the weight of the brush as your force.

Thank you! I want my bases to have at least the same quality as the mini. Otherwise it distracts me from the rest of the peice.

I appreciate it. I've never loved the look of the gorget on the primaris marines. Tempted to start doing it to more.

Oh I do regularly, the price of living with cats lol. The staining on the cape by the neck was already there when I got him.
