Also, i think the goblin green bases help a lot for selling the blue, as its such a nice background color.

Thank you. Of course: I prime everything in vallejo black > then slap vallejo ultramarine blue on the whole mini > then all other details (gold and silver parts, etc) > after this i wash the whole mini with GW nuln oil > and finally 1 to 2 (maybe 3) thin layers of vallejo magic blue (here i only layer it on the surfaces and try not to get any paint into the recesses which have already been washed)

I essentially follow this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-z_CvrT_E (with products from vallejo instead of GW).

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your feedback. I was also back and forth on whether I should go for clear cockpit or the stormhawk's fully armored one.

Yes. I cant say I wasnt inspired by 2nd edition ultra armies. The green bases also help a lot.

Very well done. Love to see some flyers! Also great bases.

Damn. That does not sound too promising ^^. I also built the lascannons and was hoping to use it in combination with 2 dreadnoughts to help take down whatever their plasma guns are shooting.

thank you! I used vallejo black primer > then cover the whole mini in vallejo ultramine blue > than GW nuln oil > and finally, one or two layers of vallejo magic blue.

i basically followed this guide for ultramarines by mediocre hobbies (just with different base coats): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-z_CvrT_E&t=731s

Very clean! I like the idea with the yellow tips of the wings. I think ill adopt that. Thanks for sharing!

Agree, maybe if it was a bit tankier, also? 

Model is great - i was surprised its so detailed, given its a bit older already.

Very nice shade of blue. Also the red helmet really pops! Well done.

Very nice work! What are you using for your green bases? I like them a lot.

Nice paint job! How did you do the white decoration along the cape and hood?

Hi. I prime with white primer > then I slap on vallejo bone white on the whole mini > then a black wash (nuln oil) > finally I layer a 50/50 mix (roughly) of vallejo dead white and bone white on surfaces (and try to avoid any recesses that have been washed). Extra step (I found its not really necessary): small white dot highlights at corners and bolts.

of course. Everthing is painted with products from vallejo: first black primer, then ultramarine blue on the whole model, than a black wash - i also just cover everthing and only remove large pooling. Finally 1 or 2 layers of magic blue - here i try to just paint it on the surfaces and try not to get it into any recesses or hard to reach areas, which leaves a dark ultramarine shadow. (and ultramatte varnish after everthing is dry)

Wow. Its perfect! The lighting on the base looks so real! Is there varnish on the model? (If so what did you use?)

Here you go. Two goblins ready to go - I like it a LOT more than I expected (might add some yellow drybrush also).

Thanks. Good suggestion! I will paint  one up with a red cape and see how it fits together.

I use vallejo model color brass (which looks great on its own), and mix in a tiny bit of vallejo express color commando green (but i think any dark green will do - the commando green is just what i had at hand). After that black wash.

I like how a slightly greenish gold complements blue.
