Props to Games Workshop on their kits. They give you what you need to make them look good.
Space Marine Phase 2! Hit him with details, shades, and even that base stuff they give you which was a fantastic touch.

He still needs some highlights and small details like eyeballs... but he's awesome!

I based my Dwarf with a pile of gold and gems. Fun stuff. Still has to dry and I gotta seal it with uh... something!

I hate that I want to paint Alpha Legion minis so badly, because 1) the iridescent blue/green paint is hard to do right and 2) I don't actually play 40k.

Look awesome, seeing as lot of improvement, Small suggestion, maybe wash/ drybrush the base to give it more depth.

Nice that's a good tip thanks Kovaks. Any tips on how to seal up my miniatures once they are painted? Like varnish or something? I think I saw someone suggest minwax. Makes me nervous I'll mess them up hah. I'll have to search.

Next up for me....

Gonna finish that 3rd space marine
I still have 2 Hero Forge Mini's to do. Not sure when I'll do them yet, I might tackle them after vacation.
Ordered a Storm Trooper set
Looking for a really good Roman Legion set of 2-3 minis. I saw the SPQR game, that might be what I get but I'm still looking.

I'm hyped on Citadel Contrast Paints after watching this vid :


I'm gonna buy a few for the storm troopers and my giant white dragon thing.

Haven’t had much time the past few weeks. Some WIP I was able to prime with the airbrush today. The Descent stuff will probably just stay zenithol-ed. KDM stuff will look like stone eventually.

Over the next few weeks I'm going to try my hand at some terrain crafting, I'll post some pics as I work if you guys are interested.

I'm not going to promise any timeline, I've got some stuff to find and I'm not quite sure where to find it here.

Where you at?

Yeah no rush. This thread isn’t a competition, it’s more like painting for casuals. I think we’re all pretty much old and have families now.

Hong Kong, having some difficulty finding stuff like mod podge and some other building materials. Doesn't really help that it's fires of hell hot this time of year sprinkled in with 90+% humidity so wandering around is kinda meh right now.
