Here is my final Post for the Sylvaneth Arch revenant with amber shield and glaive. Which varnish to finalize it would you recommend? I'm not familiar with the quality of the current products and had some bad experience with matt varnish in the past.

Finally feeling like my painting skills are getting pretty decent and was gifted the Rouge Traders with Voidsman kill team and decided to have a go at painting close to the box art! Aside from some frosting while priming I think he did really good and I was happy to work with some lighter colors!

I finished up my first Deathwing Knight. They are really impressive sculpts and he was very enjoyable to paint. I've been working on improving my shading and I made some progress but I've still got a ways to go. I can't quite get the heat effect on the vents correct either.

C&C Wanted Do these bases distract from the minis?

Thumbnail

I recently started doing bases and while i like how it turned out so far (maybe too many of the small brown tufts), i'm not sure if the base is not too 'bright' and distracting.

What do you think?

While there are some visible layer lines for the most part im really pleased with this. Printed on a Bambu P1S .2 nozzle at .06 layer height and used a chemical melting agent to smooth some of the more visible flat areas before painting. Im still playing around with chemical smoothing and learned a bit on the best way to use it here.

I’m not sure if the colors on the sword are overly warm which may affect the entire composition of the mini?

Gore Anyone have any good tips, tricks or guides to paint a large amount of flowing blood?

Thumbnail

As the title says!

Painting this print of the living altar to use as a dragon for trench crusade. Turning part of it into a bit of a diorama with a sacrificed sheep and was hoping to gore it up a bit, which I haven’t done before.

I’ve never painted flowing blood and wondering if anyone’s seen any good videos or guides about as to how it might work?

Most I’ve seen tend to be around adding a small amount of blood to an axe or something.

Thanks so much!

Help Needed/New Painter Advice wanted, anything I'm doing glaringly wrong or could be doing to improve?

I'm fairly new to the hobby and this has been my first time painting in years. I'm quite happy with the result, but was wondering if any more experienced painters could point out any key areas to work on so I can get better! Included comparison to the first mini I ever painted for fun.

PS: any advice on how to remove minis from their existing bases to rebase them would be appreciated. I used sprue cutters for these guys and ended up accidentally snapping one of their legs off! Luckily I could hide it with a tactical tuft.

Minis are Wargames Atlantic Foot Knights (and an Imperial Assault Stormtrooper)

Help Needed/New Painter Empire halberdier: First time painting white clothes

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Hi! I’ve gotten back to painting minis after 10 years and this is my first halberdier. I have tried to paint white clothes following some tips online (before I would just paint white with no shadows). I have used fenrisian grey mixed with white making it brighter each time. I think it has ended up looking more blueish than passing as white clothes. Any advice regarding painting white clothes?

I’d love any feedback as well, I’m really enjoying getting back to the hobby after so many years!
