Feel like a kid again
My last 3 Stormcast models. (Apart from a Lord on draconine) I feel that my painting is getting a lot neater and finally thinning my paints correctly.
The gold seems to be too close to the orange so might switch it to silver.Still have to shade the gold and highlight but I got a gloss shade coming so will wait. Tried to be fancy with the starmace but ended up using to much shade.
My first Space Marine. It was looking real neat and tidy until I tried to pin shade it and highlight lol but don't think it's to shabby.
It's a test run before I start my Spacewolf army. What do you think of the main colour. It's Russ over standard Mechanical grey.
Cheers have Fang coming to see what I prefer as a base.
O I would agree. This was just a freebie I had lying around and have been busy looking at company colours for shoulders and pack markings.

Not sure where it's from. The local shop give it to me as a freebie for a painting competition. Never really wanted to get into 40K but it slowly won me over. Only really started on the first lockdown but already have plenty of models to paint

The Space Wolf (or general marine base) is part of the starter kits, they put a bit more effort into the bases on those models not sure why, and they are all push to fit as well.
I'm actually painting some Space Wolves at the moment, I'll dig a photo out at some point and share it. Really enjoying how the different layers build up, the base colour is almost Ultramarine then you end with the really light blue.
edit: photo's attached of the two I have completed, the first one is actually one of the starter basic Primaris Sergeants but decided to pimp him up with a cloak and a power sword.
Always forget how much pictures make me hate my own painting, faults that the naked eye can't see are so obvious in photos
Cool. Yea I got back into it after a 12yr hiatus, already got a growing pile of shame.
Oh right, I just ordered some skulls to beef up my bases a bit.
Ive been watching Darren Latham vids on youtube, makes me want to throw all my models in the bin xD
Its just practice and patience init, a good comfy seat and braced elbows helps as well I find, get those rims painted black and ya sorted!
I've gone full GW
Decided to have a crack at Astreia Solbright. Really pleased how this turned out. Still got some final highlights to do in a few places.
Ready to move on to Realm Lords or Spacewolves can't make my mind up yet. Probably end up buying some else while trying to decide
