About

I airbrushed the blue on these and then abandoned them for a long time in order to get more orks/ imperial guard painted for games.

I’m pleased to have got these finished, they’re one of my “nostalgia projects”, painting something similar to when I was a kid but to a better standard. Looking at the photos, I’d like to come back and do some edge highlights/highlight the gold at some point.

About

Rich bought me this model as a gift. I think it’s the best model I’ve painted so far, it was worth spending the extra time on it! I was really pleased with the highlights on the coat, top and sash. The rust ended up looking good too but I wasn’t entirely happy with the power sword. I think it’s alright for a first attempt but it wasn’t exactly as I intended. Overall I’m really pleased with the result.

About

When I bought this it was not the best assassin in game but I do think it’s the coolest. I took a stab at doing volumetric highlights on the black suit and quite like the result. I tried to follow the advice to leave most of it black so that it reads as black vs other colours where you might cover a larger proportion with the highlights.

About

I bought this miniature because it was going OOP and I liked the idea of having the old metal models, even if a new plastic one is released in future.

This was the first time I’ve painted human skin, took the time to highlight it, and felt happy with the result. I really enjoyed it as a project, maybe because it wasn’t intended for gaming so there was no pressure!
