I actualy got round to painting something!

 

He's not very good, I havent hilighted, but I have used washes (but I missed the mould lines). I'm pleased with him though:

Looks a whole lot better then my first mini I ever painted. I agree with Thrax that the white does look a little splotchy but I figured if some dude's wearing WHITE in a battlezone it wont stay the same shade for long. I would just highlight and base the figure and I think it would look pretty good as a standard line marine. Good job ^^

I'm trying to remember my first ever finished marine - I think it was a metal Ultra Marine back in the days where you had to mix two blues together to get the right Ultra Marine colour. I don't think that it looked anything as good as this. Bravo for trying a split scheme on your first figure - a lot of people would have stuck to a single colour. As for tips, when painting your next figure, trying thinning the paint down a bit as a lot of thin coats really help to build the colour up. Otherwise you should be pleased with your first figure - hopefully the first of many.
