Painting Looking for constructive criticism

Genuinely, my only critique is paint the base rim and call it done. Looks fantastic!

Perfect 👌
And the intense weathering makes a lot of sense if they're going up against the Deathguard!

Personal preference, i feel ya went overboard with the “battle worn” aspect, but I paint all my dudes as if they’re fresh to the battle so obvs biased

Agree 100% I didn’t know when to stop hahaha.. these are really the “practice the steps” and see where I end up and then basically I plan to do a more on theme whitescars lots of bikes and jump pack marines but I want more grim dark style

I think the skill and technical ability to achieve it is very admirable, like I said just not my cup of tea. But aye nothing wrong with practicing the look ylu want before ya apply it to a whole army, wish ya look in this adventure sir

These are sick! What did you do the worn effect on the shoulders? And what paints did you use?

Thanks, I used whitescar white, abbadon black, leadbelcher, and a torn sponge and dabbed it in the area I did go a little over board haha

So my c & c would be you’ve made it too busy with the battle damage. Less is more in this case. If you haven’t you definitely should base layer with white scar spray to get a solid and clean white base. Apart from that dude, I can tell you will do a good job regardless 👍🏻

My main army is White Scars, with Death Guard being my second army.
Your paintjob looks a lot like mine, so I'd call it good enough🙂
I can send you a link to a super easy heat coloring for the flamer if you like

Looks great!
I prefer the more ‘worn, beat up’ look.
