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.

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.

Will check the video!

Eyes are so damn tiny though. Glad I got a dot in.

Calling them done for now. Will continue with the dragon or some male barbarians.

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.

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.

Printed a big one from Archvillain Games. Also started using a few metallic paints on the skeleton guys.

If you ever wanna chat painting or advice let me know, can hop into discord and feel free to pick my brain or advice on technique. Same goes for anyone else on the board!

Finished the new Avatar of Khaine. Fun model to paint, have magnetized the other head and weapon options too.

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.

I avoid this thread like the plague because there's too much cool shit in it and with my personality, I'd have a man-cave filled with $10,000 in minis (probably unpainted) in 6 months.

I only poked in to say that I got extraordinarily close to going to the Dark Side with the Tanares Kickstarter pledge manager closing recently. However, I know that once I give in there's no coming back and the subsequent immolation of cash would be legendary.

I'd vote blues and purples (and maybe pinks on the fringes) fading into each other.
