@Noxia that's pretty damn good.
Tabletop Warhammer?

Thanks, photo as always make it look terrible, like the still green bits of the tracks but for tabletop it is fine. Big fan of the muted bronze from TTC (Spartan Bronze) as well which is on the rails.
Got annihilated on my test game, though tbf I was playing someone else's army who had no transports that DG really need so I couldn't get close to the objectives very fast. The 4" movement on battleline troops gets old quick. PBC was fun though as were the Msomething-BLight-Haulers as they are quite well kitted out.
Think Id prefer 1000pt games, was a bit frazzled after 3+ hours.

I've had a set of the Army Painter "Wargamer" brushes for doing general painting/washes/metallics and they've lasted me a good amount of time with some care. For more detailed work I was gifted a set of Artis Opus Series S which are very nice quality, though they aren't cheap so they get extra care taken of them.
I'm also pretty old school with my technique and use a lot of drybrushing, for that i've just got a set of makeup brushes which do a great job.

I use the Windsor & Newton "Cotman" range and Games Workshop drybrushes.
Each to their own though.

The GW one until it stops being free. I've exported many lists in advance.
Finally got round to (near enough) finishing the Ork Kommandos from the Kill Team Octarius box over the weekend. In the process remembered I hadn't done the unit marking transfers for the Veteran Guardsmen / Death Korps, so that's on the list for this week.
Primarily painted with Speed Paints (v1) and then added to with a few regular acrylics, including a green wash on the skin. First time trying one of the 'Base Ready' products from Geek Gaming Scenics (in this case 'Desert Sand and Stone') and pretty happy with it, though I think some of the other mixes I chose for other armies will be even better, as they're a bit more distinct than looking mostly like sand.
I'm tempted to go over the Guardsmen again with a light all over wash to 'grim dark' them down a bit.

Yep, I like the Orks in a bold almost cartoony colour palette, I think it undersells the lunacy of the Orks when they're in quite muted greens

Yeah I like it too. After the drab colours of DG I'm trying something a little brighter out of my leviathan set next.

Is it weird I actually quite like the bottom one
That's my fave, I like the contrast.
Prize if you can say what I've been doing tonight:

Do not leave them sat in water for long periods.
The handle part of the brush is wooden on the army painter brushes.
So it soaks up all the water.
So when you fall asleep painting your minis you wake up to a brand new brush that has swollen and split along its entire length.

Thanks for the feedback guys
Black and white undercoat should give a glowing effect but I used the wrong brush. It was impatience too.
I'll try again later today or maybe tomorrow.
