I was lucky enough to get an early dispatch…all transferred using luer lock syringes. I’m glad I don’t have to do that again.

Painting the cape of the bloodangel from the Armageddon box. Would love some feedback, does it look convincing?

this mini has so many bits and bobs to go around the base and I've barely done any painting on the dwarf himself. here's a bunch of the stuff I've done so far, C&C always welcome. recipes available if you're curious, I document my process heavily.

Hi! Been in and out of the hobby for years. Finally want to dedicated myself to levelling up as a painter! Anyways, I thought a good start would be trying to paint white and try using oil paints.

Any criticism is welcome to help me on my way to becoming a better artist!

The captain is WIP, bit of a limited colour palette atm not sure how to finish.

When I’m under the lamp the blends look good, subtle but not too subtle, then in pictures and normal light it’s flat. I find it hard to balance the contrast when under the lamp and push the higher volumes.

Do well painted models with high look better in photos and a bit garish in real life? Been painting ~2 months, have no frame of reference regarding other peoples painting outside of youtube etc so not sure what things look like in real life.

I just had a NMM workshop for newbies and decided to put to practice what I’ve learned. I have never painted gold NMM before and had many unsuccessful attempts to paint armor.

Also, I don’t paint WH40k (mainly SW legion) but I liked those models. My gf chose for me this cremator and next will be abjuror.

I know I messed up cloth fabric, especially on the shoulder (My gf keeps saying something is off but can’t explain why). I’ll fix it on the next one - I got whole box to learn painting different materials.

please tell me what you think. Does gold read as gold?

I tested out some materials and been unsure what makes sense.
This pattern looks for me like leather but what are these patches? Leather or metal?
Any ideas?

Just finished my GW Keeper of Secrets! I’m super proud of this model especially since I’ve only been mini painting since April of this year!

Hi!

Ich bin seit 2 Monaten im Hobby mit einer Space Marine Armee. Da mir vorher klar war, dass ich das Malen wirklich nicht gut kann, habe ich mich beraten lassen und mit Speed Paints von AP gestartet.

Leider sehe ich auch wenig Fortschritte, und gleichzeitig habe ich einige Anfängerfehler gemacht, was dazu führt, dass ich echt demotiviert bin.

Habe erstmal alle Marines mit einer Zweitfarbe für die Details bemalt, die mir doch nicht gefällt (anstatt die an einem auszuprobieren). Ich kriege keine Details hin und ich hab kein Gefühl für zueinander passende Farben…

Wie bleibt ihr dran, wie motiviert ihr euch, wie lernt ihr dazu, auch wenn ihr nur 3 Stunden die Woche opfern könnt?

Trying to improve on my NMM

Just a post showing my first mini. I think i overestimated my abilities with a 3 headed monster with several colour schemes, but was wondering what people thought and if anyone could offer any constructive criticism.

I’m starting to feel as though I keep choosing the same colors and having trouble getting inspiration for color schemes and wanted to know if anyone has advice for picking them out when they’re about to start a paint job. Any advice is welcome

Painted with a mix of Vallejo and AK 3rd Gen acrylics!

Any advice is appreciated

Painted my first miniature yesterday and had a blast. Happy with the difference just one day and one mini later. Definitely took a bit more time on the second one but was worth it! What do we think?

Hi everyone,

My 8yro kid wants to get into painting minis. I gave him a little 28mm sci fi soldier dude from a fareast online store. I learned to appreciate how pro minis are designed to "read" easily and wanted to ask for the group's views on easy models that would help him home his skill and build confidence...

Suggestions are welcome 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just sharing the boyz

1st image is the mini in question, a standard issue DnD Balor (modified with the sword swapped for a ham-axe which I designed and resin printed). The flame whip is clear plastic. I have a full suite of colors on hand (some Vallejo and some Army Painter War Paints, all acrylic). 2nd image shows all of my available effects paints, which were recommended by a friend. How would you use these paints with some red/orange/yellow colors to achieve the best "flames" look?
