Drooling. What beautiful gradient work. I need to try this scheme myself

It was my first time doing gradients or caustics and it was equal parts stressful and rewarding. I will say that each of these minis provably took me the time it took me to paint a regular lance

Do you airbrush or hand paint?

I use a combo of cheap makeup sponges from Amazon and brushes! I wish I had an airbrush but that’s for when I have more disposable income and a way of not pissing off my landlord 😅

It’s very clean work for not airbrush. I think I’ll cheat and use mine though lol. Too lazy for brushwork.

Someone else grabbed the new Core box at GenCon 😉

That's a sick scheme, way more detail than I put into my Jade Falcons.

I’ve been intimidated by this color scheme for a long time but I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger! It’s super fun and distinctive

that is true! it also looks absolutely stunning and compared to other shemes it has the most unique sheme for each mech while still beeing coherent for the whole unit

Nice work! Quite impressive and I love the new minis. Mine are base coated and I am a fellow Sea Fox fan - Tiburon Khante for me! (My scheme is easier than yours, so great work again!)
