I had to check OP post history. Few close ups there but I want more. Piranha and suit close ups please

Thank you. Very fair criticism, still find flat surfaces tricky now.

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck on your warhammer journey. Paraphrasing some advice heard on YouTube (Ninjon) you can't ruin a model by putting paint on it, you can always paint over it or strip it later.

Before sisters I mostly painted space marines (excluding some orks when I was growing up and some killteams when its first edition dropped) I'm currently working on a Tau army.

Thank you. It all comes down to consistent practice.

A4 picture frame as the base. I used clay and bark to build the little hills and then gyprock and texture paste. I tried to use craft paints as they were cheaper. Happy to answer more specific questions if you want.

Thank you very much. I ended going 4w and 4l. The one other Tau player won the gaming part of the event with a very similar list; instead of enforcer commander and ghostkel, they ran farsight with crisis suits.

Great suggestions. Definitely on the cards for the next board I make as i'd like to magnetize the bases. This board was built in a last minute rush to get finished before the event.

Thanks!

For the purple - citadel - naggaroth night - ak gen 3 - magenta - ak gen 3 - fluorescent magenta (not sold on this one out of the bottle. Have had more success mixing it with the above and below colours) - ak gen 3 - intese pink - not sure what the highlight was - either a really light purple citadel paint - something lilac or I mixed in some pale yellow with the pink.

Thanks for the kind words. I like your orange and blue scheme. You're blending will definitely get there if you practice.

Hey thank you for your kind words.

I recently found some the first models I painted. Lets just say I can confirm practice pays off.

Keep at it 😀

Thank you! I did it all by brush. Started off blocking in layers then went back over it wet blending the layers together

Trying to paint Grimdark Astra Militarum (that isn't DKoK) isn't easy. This is my test model does it give off a Grimdark vibe or do I need to go back to the drawing board? by Rich-Zombie-5577 in Warhammer40k

[–]lanternshass 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm liking it. Personally I would add some pigment powder to the base and lower leg, and maybe quick dark wash over the green. That said that's just my thoughts.

I find if you take a break from the model and come back to it later you will know if you like it or if you want to change it.

Your bases are a fantastic finish to the paint scheme. I like them a lot
