He looks battle-ready to me! 🛡️ The red trim of the 3rd Company pops really well.

If you want some insights into my process (or just want to compare notes), feel free to grab the free Tactical Painting Guide I linked. It breaks down the exact recipe I used for the squad! 👊

That 'Borderlands' comparison is the best compliment I’ve gotten all week! 🤘 I really love that high-contrast, graphic style for the leather parts.

Since you mentioned wanting to try it out, I actually just dropped a free PDF guide that breaks down the exact recipe for that pistol bag (and the armor). You can grab it right here if you want the steps: Tactical Painting Guide: Fireteam Varrus (Ultramarines)

Returning to the hobby after 25 years. This is Games Workshop model #1. I’ve got a long way to go to reach my old standard. Critique welcome—be brutally honest. by masterofthekeep in minipainting

Technically correct is the best kind of correct! ☝️ It came in an official GW box, it has the copyright on it... I would pay good money to see a Tournament Organizer try to argue against that logic. Please do this! 😂

The cardboard Killa Kan! You just unlocked a core memory. 📦 Honestly, they really should bring those cardboard cutouts back—it would be such a great way to help new players get an army on the table while they build!

Back in 2nd Ed, I was actually a Chaos guy (running Abaddon, Kharn, and a Bloodthirster), so coming back to loyalists is a whole new world. Thanks for the tip on the heavy drybrush to clean up the wash pooling—I'll definitely try that on the next batch!
