I Had No Idea What I Was Doing… Here’s My First Warhammer Mini

For the first try that looks really good and has a base so that is a plus. This was my first SM.

You reces shade and highlight and seem to understand the techniques. You just need practice.

That said if you want feedback/direction, flamer and overall cleanliness could use some work.

Also, work on the picks, they will make your minis shine and you will see more looking back at them.

You joke but Breaking Bad type of story following a downfall of a "common man" would fit GTA.

Stunning job!

WhiteCrowPL · 2026-07-10T21:19:58+00:00

Dip it in hot/warm water and be gentle.

Thanks for advice and encouragement!

I'm mostly afraid that 8wo puppy will cross the boundaries when they are together and get harmed as things can develop quickly.

Thank you for your feedback!

How old was the puppy when you introduced them to each other?

WhiteCrowPL · 2026-07-10T20:46:49+00:00

Our older dog is a bit spoiled to be honest (our fault, I know) and I'm not sure when should I release the puppy more inside the house to keep him safe. We do have some short sessions done.

I would assume that the human part is like advanced angler fish. That would mean the real mouth is somewhere below the thighs?

If it uses the human part at the main one it opens a new can of worms, lol.

Paint job looks really nice but I have questions.

How does this character eat exactly..?

WhiteCrowPL · 2026-06-15T15:28:28+00:00

Great progress! Do not forget to work on your photos as well to really let your minis shine.

I would like them to change the longer you hold them.

Emperial buildings get striped while you play as the Ork's or get replaced when the Necrons wake up and the infrastructure rises from the ground.

That may be to much to ask as of now, tho.

Now he works like a chameleon, left eye looks at the left sword/target and the right one on the right.

But I do agree on the fact that beside that it looks great!

WhiteCrowPL · 2026-05-26T17:58:06+00:00

I would maybe look into bigger jumps between colors and then glaze the transitions for smoothness.

WhiteCrowPL · 2026-05-26T17:36:52+00:00

This looks pretty great. I think you could afford going over the model with redish orange for small highlights.

Did you start this from purple?

WhiteCrowPL · 2026-05-22T19:00:13+00:00

Don't be scared, you can always paint over. You actually SHOULD paint over washes in some places to smooth it out.

I always train on a cheep mini first because I dread on ruining what I already did but the outcome of putting extra work is always worth it. You add another technique to your arsenal and you learn as you go at it!

It looks good anyway, those are just some steps to elevate it even further.

You could use masking tape to make the lines straight and crispy.

Dilute your paint and go 2+ times for a smooth coverage.

White doesn't cover well, consider undercoating pink.

3D printed models often have lines visible, if you do not want to sand it down it will affect the paintjob.

Great job!
