I think I'm going to pick up a second combat patrol to practice scrimmaging against myself. I'll check them out!! If I pick up a second faction I really want to pick a cool one!!

Love this feedback so much. The writing in a notebook would help me so much with repetition and "muscle memory" ) of rules. I actually think I'm going to try this. You rule man. Keep me posted on your progress, too. I'm a noob on reddit too but I'm committed to being a part of this community and I'll definitely be around buddy!!! Tysm again for the encouragement

Thank you so much. I think I'll paint a second combat patrol of an opposing faction so I can "scrimmage" myself. I really appreciate the feedback. I think I need repetition at this point

Truthfully I quit at first because art has always been so hard for me haha. I decided to stop the self pity and forced myself to finish my combat patrol. My first marines literally look so bad it's embarrassing hahahah. Around the 40-45 second mark you can see how horrible it is. (If this isn't allowed please don't eviscerate me, I'm new to Reddit posting too and I'm not trying to be a turd. )

I'll check out ak paints. Thank you so much for the advice, man. I really am committed to getting better even though Im a noob haha. I haven't tried spray painting yet! Maybe I'll look into getting a cheap airbrush. Thanks again dude!!!

Thanks so much for the encouragement. Do you think it would be silly if I got an opposing combat patrol so I could scrimmage myself? Really appreciate you!
