First painted mini for years!


Recommended Posts

I give you Brother Isiah of the Dark Angels 5th Company:

As the subject title suggests, this is the first mini I have painted for probably around 3 years. I've used it as a test mini, took it slowly (3 days slowly, on and off, lol), and I attempted black-lining and highlighting for the very first times. Few more bits to do (need sunlight, my eyes hurt!), then I can crack on with the rest of the squad. Now I just have to learn how to paint a bit quicker. Comments very welcome.

Looks good, esp. since you havent painted any mini's in that long. maybee you could post some more angled pictures...

 

and to get the rest of the squad painted i would reccomend that you save time by painting all of the models basecoats, then do all of the second step for the whole squad. this not only saves time, but also ensures that any mixed coulour turn out the same shade.

 

looks good

Thank you all for the comments. Taking my time helped, hopefully can maintain the standard when painting a whole squad. As for the plasma gun, I was going to try white highlights, but then I gave it a blue glaze, and was happy with how it looked (doesn't seem to show up in the picture). May try it on a plasma cannon though, cheers Mentors.

 

Shinobi: I only have a camera phone, and that picture was the best of a bad bunch I'm afraid, Will take more if there is several requests though...will just see me pulling my hair out and shouting at the phone, thats all ^_^

Looks sweet.

 

I was going to suggest the same as Mentors but then I saw your reply. Now I urge you to reconsider, as that last highlight of white won't take more than 5 mins to perform and it will really give the gun a nice 'oomph'! :P
