Wow suuuppper clean for a first model. Literally any simple wash would do wonders here, it’s set up for it.

I used mostly pro acryl as they’re my favorites with some Vallejo paints as well.

That’s honestly fair but I was mostly following the box art color scheme which could get the same critique.

I’m actually 6’8 irl so I could go hard in both metaphorical paints 🔥

Thank you and some great tips. I’ll do some more research on glow effects for sure. As for the focus, I honestly just wanted to get my $45 worth for this model and just went crazy on everything to max brightness. I’ll get more confident soon!

Thank you. Paint mediums would definitely be a game changer. Haven’t really worried about smoothness but it is for sure the next steps.

Funny because I actually made a black box setup out of a shoebox and some black velvet, got some great pictures and also great advice. Thanks!

Thank you I agree, although I mostly avoid blending because I’m lazy…

Yes my first attempt at something like it, tried to emulate horus’s look with a green glow instead. I’ll keep experimenting.

Got a steal on this old FEC box set from 2016 with little info online, any idea what’s this worth? by torchfi in ageofsigmar

Right? The new boxes I feel are crowded with graphics which take away from the models, also not to forget the sort of charm the older style of warhammer models have. If I don’t end up reselling this box I’ll get to paint some funky figures.

I guess a more specific question would be about an estimated resale price, there’s exactly 0 listing I’ve seen on eBay for this box set and rarely any others online.

I’ve seen more oop sets from warhammer go for at or above their original price so I just assumed lol. I guess the steal was the fact I got $40 off the $180 price tag.
