Krieg Engineer-First model painted in nearly 20 years. . .

It’s been a long time but today I decided to pick up the brush again. Overall I’m satisfied with my creation but I think the color scheme is too bright and I’m not a fan of the metallic. Flats would save me a bit of time as well. I have a lot of these little guys to paint

The photo's we take have a bad habit of skewing our perceptions. This close up, under "perfect" lighting, maybe the model seems a little bright, but put it on a table and retreat to gming distance? I bet those details pop just right

Honestly, they look fine to me.

 

Maybe wait until their base is done before final judgement? A muddy or urban base may affect your perception of the colours? If you still feel they're too bright, maybe a very light glaze of Agrax Earthshade might bring the brightness down a bit?
