The Praetorian of Inwit Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Hi gang. Here are a number of HQ's in Imperial Fist colours. I didn't always thin my paints as much as I needed and my brush control isn't the best but I am happy with how they turner out. Especially as this is the first time in twenty years I've actually painted anything. At least I made the effort right. ⁷ phandaal, OpossumStrong, Brother Lunkhead and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382206-firstborn-leading-the-way/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Praetorian of Inwit Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 The Chaplain with Jump Pack was the BA model originally, I did some minor modifications and now it is serving the IF well.

Sergeant Centurion Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Glad to see your army! If you are happy with your hobby, thats the best. Dont worry, with time and try you will become better. Good idea you have to put the librarian and chaplain in bigger bases.

Firedrake Cordova Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 Yellow is traditionally a pain to paint (it generally doesn't have great coverage), and they look pretty neat, so you're off to a good start. Painted models always look better than bare plastic, and there's only one way you can develop brush control and an instinct for correct thinning - by painting more minis. (also, using magnification aids can help with brush control, especially once you reach "a certain age") As @Sergeant Centurion says, it's your hobby - if you're happy, that's all that matters. phandaal and Sergeant Centurion 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382206-firstborn-leading-the-way/#findComment-6020025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Christopher Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 I love how your heart is in the right place. Also, the collection you have contains some cool late-stage Firstborn models. The yellows appear a bit rough but yellow is an extremely hard colour to paint. You could consider slapping some washes on your models - this should make the details more defined. I think that a good wash goes a long way and is capable of doing some heavy lifting. I use washes to cheat and to hide my lack of proper skills all the time! (Although, I wouldn't know what wash to use for yellows not to make them too messy; however, I'm sure other more experienced and skilled members could offer some advice). Good luck in your future endeavours.
