This video helped me the most. Short and to the point. I still never got good at them but it’s a think of practice.Started my 3d printed barbarians from artisan guild. Just applied wash on the middle one and will try highlights and touch ups when its dry.
And also probably fail at the eyes.

Finished off some night spinners. Think I'll be working on a webway gate next. I stream painting on twitch too at twitch.tv/duplicitystudio

Just airbrush magic my dude.Those smooth as silk gradients on those cockpits blow my mind, dude.
I’d say just go back to the beginning of this thread and read a while. There are a bunch of equipment recommendations, beginner techniques, video suggestions.You guys are pretty amazing. Echoing the sentiment from a post earlier, it makes me want to get started. I have never been able to get rid of my old IG army that is out in the shed. I haven't actually played 40k in 20 years or so at this point but man I love the lore and overall aesthetic. Perhaps I will try my hand at IG and move on to Tyranids. A well painted Tyranid force always impressed me. I am also old enough to afford these things now.
Any particular resources you would recommend to check out or avoid? Take a stroll through /r/minipainting/?
The interesting thing is that, despite not being a nerd at all, my wife expressed interest in this being a joint activity because she is a creative type and thought it was neat.

Started my big 3d printed model today. Got the base finished and started on the body. Not sure if red is the correct skin color as I painted the other demon red also.
Any suggestions on skin and wing colors? The wings are lying beside it and are feather wings.
