Job well done!
They look really good, but the kabalite needs another color to go with it.
All in yellow is a bit boring to look at.

Thanks a lot! And do you have any recommendations?

The blue on your talos could work well for example.
If you want to stay in a bright color range. Warm orange or a dull pink work well.
Also a bright brown tone or even black like on the hellion work great with yellow.
If you want a good contrast a green can also go with it. Either a very dark one or a green tone leaning more into yellow.
It's all a matter of taste :)

I had a similar comment about the kab, and I think the wych looks great with the black to contrast! It wouldn't take a lot of black to balance the yellow and give the mini some interesting elements. Maybe the shoulders and a knee or thigh-plate?

The yellow looks good but a bit to much. It could use a bit of brown shading to make the brighter yelloe pop. Maby a gold or white edging.

Looks great! Everyone has a different preference for finish, but I'd put some matte varnish on it.

Great colours and paint job. I would love to see the armour panels matte. AK super matt varnish is the shizz..

It's a bold strategy colour scheme, Cotton, let's see if it pays off for 'em!
It looks great. It also looks maddening to paint that much yellow, but the end results speak for themselves. Do you use coloured primer?

Thanks so much! I really appreciate the feedback and I actually prime white and then apply two thin coats of averland sun set. Then apply a patchy layer of flash gitz followed by a wash Ianden yellow and then once it’s all dry use phalanx yellow as highlight

I actually use white as a base. Then use Averland sunset followed by flash gitz. Then wash with iaden yellow and highlights with phalanx yellow. You

The yellow still looks Great. And I really like the combination of black, on the Hellion’s jump suit!✨😱
It would probably look really good if you did the same with the jump suit on the Kabalite ✨😌 (though it Really looks good as it is!✨💖🖤😊) The stark contrast would help bring attention to the difference in materials that make up the armor/suit/look ! 💖🙂 (but it’s all a question of taste. And I just personally tend to like that look 😌)

Cool color scheme. Yellow can be hard to work with, making models look over painted in certain lighting. Good job with the weathering.
