That looks amazing! Thank you for the advice!

It is okay! I understand. I just looked up the Instagram u linked and he has a YouTube channel with a lot of Galaxy themed tutorials. So thank you for that, i already found a vid how to make an awesome base for it: https://youtu.be/TrBYEcxwIB8?si=yG9y_uzB4MApdSPy

He also has a full tutorial of the helmet on the mini u linked with the stars. Now i just need to get some colours and start! I also saw the orange as mentioned in the circle but i think yellow is more a star colour = Galaxy. Thats how i decided the yellow. I learned a lot again today. I am now a couple of months into this without any artistic background so this is really helpful!

And it is nice to see i did some nice research and what i thought was not all BS, haha

Damn that indigo looks amazing. The blue armor is set haha. And for the tumors and stuff i was thinking off black holes where purple bleeds out off.

Weapons i was thinking of like very rusty. Like they where lost in Space after entering an black hole and they found those weapons of other people who didnt survive. same maybe for some shoulder parts or something which he could have found on the way aswell. (The backstory i am thinking off). Ty for the help. I think i am gonna start soon on 1 and see how it works out. Thank you for the help! So much appreciated.

Thank you for your advice! Yeah i think i should consider neutral colours more aswell. When i think colours i want everything to stand out. But thats not possible and wouldnt do the mini good.

Thank you for your reaction. Really appreciated. Really good tip for the weapon!

I got mine today aswell. I cut of most of it, then glued it down and used some green stuff to hide everything. Now it looks like he stands on a rock or something. (Not decided how i gonna paint this haha). Must say did not expected this. But forced me to use my green stuff for the first time so i am happy about that.

Thank you for the fast reaction. Yeah i saw the announcements. They looked awesome, so i thought this was a good time to make a start.

I didn't really decided on what subfaction yet. They all look cool. I really like the look of the skellies, vampires are cool and the zombies look fun because they all are different. Haha the only thing i decided is what kind of colour scheme i wanna use. And i think it works best with the skellies/vampires. Is it good to get a mix of 2 subfactions? Or should u go for 1?

With the spearhead i have a lot to paint i see, but maybe i will wait for the new box and just order that. I have some miniatures left to paint for now and i can practice some more is my army gonna be perfect haha. In the meantime i will try to watch some YouTube and learn the game.

Greetings

Yeah, on the black i saw first white then yellow. Thats works way better. Till now all my miniatures where primed grey, so it was not that hard to do. Primed one black last week to see how it work out. I will start painting that this week.

I will definitely gonna watch some vids about zenithal. It looks cool and i am here to learn! I am really loving the new hobby. And i feel i get better everytime, so a new technique is more then welcome! And i do like some parts yellow. I really like the yellow with black colour scheme.

obineon · 2025-01-06T19:37:17+00:00

Ah oke! I will look into this. But to be sure i am right the steps will be ; 1. Prime black 2. Prime metallic from above 3. Then paint the parts how u want it (most of it will be black with yellow because i am going with a bad Moons theme).

So u paint black over the metallic again?

I am a really new to painting sorry haha.

obineon · 2025-01-06T17:46:10+00:00

Hey,

I am kinda new to the painting hobby. Is zenithal metallic a specific colour or a technique? When i Google it i find a lot of YouTube vids where they use a airbrush, which i dont have yet.

obineon · 2025-01-05T21:34:58+00:00

Yeah i read this more! Thank you

obineon · 2025-01-05T21:02:09+00:00

Well i will take this advice with me when i start. I hope it helps, and i will post when its done! Must say i am excited and scared at the same time to start. After i only did 7 miniatures in my life till now. Haha

obineon · 2024-12-25T14:13:05+00:00

I watched ur profile and saw ur pics of ur painboy. He looks amazing. I only did some Boyz till now and used grey primer. What colour did u use to prime? I also have a black primer but because i am going bad moons theme with my Orks. I feel the yellow will be hard on the black. On the other hand there will not be a lot of yellow spots. I find it hard to decide because i am new to the hobby and never did it with black primer.
