I got through putting together few models already and Im using plastic glue. I sadly when gluing tend to lean closer to the model (just old habit of mine) and I notices my eyes getting irritated from the fumes. Is there a chance for serious eye damage from those? I will still lean back more just concerned since it happened 3-4 times now.

Also here is the picture of my first glued minis (its half of the first box)

And a question - will starter box AOS paints from citadel work as good starter for those models??

Hi all, I’ve tried everything. Light grey primer + normal painting or contrast blacks, black primer (and a light coat of rubber black over everything to take a way the shine cause I accidentally got a satin black primer, but anyway it’s one of the few things that help give texture to the minis), I’ve tried normal highlighting, using the brush like a sponge, etc.

Basically, I’m trying to get to the colors of the last pic for reference, black uniform coyote 498 vest, but I don’t know how to replicate the fabric and textyle like look of the advertised image. I’m not delusional I don’t imagine mine will turn out as good or anything, I’m just trying for the paint and shadows and highlights to look believably like fabric. I see on the webpage pic there’s a very natural but noticeable highlighting on the folds of the arms and the ridges of the draping in the pants. Also the best is surprisingly bright in colors but it looks like actual tactical gear/garments.

When I tried to use more saturated colors (I wanted a boot hide brown so I tried orange brown initially) it looked like clay, then as I did mixed that desaturated it, even went down to this coyote 498 or tan 499 it looked more like in the second image, my attempts to do some shading with lighter and brighter variations did nothing but make it look uneven and dirty and like the black undercoat was showing (it’s not).

So what kind of techniques and color mixes do you recommend I do to get to the first image? Thank you!

I do some painting but have never painted a mini before so this was definitely a learning experience. I didn't want to buy anything new so I just used Blick Acrylic paints I already had and thinned them to the desired consistency with Flo-Aid, with the exception of some Vallejo metallics.

It was a huge surprise at the table since I showed no previews so I think it was a success!

Please rate the work. 😅

I had some spare Warhammer 40k Tyranid parts and think I put them to good use. 😄Going to use him as ‘The Red Terror’ for casual games.

Tried to do OSL the fast way for a gaming miniature

As automod requests: this mini on MMF

Hey everyone, I have been painting for some time but recently I got the desire to get better. Please do you have any tips on what to focus now or what should I do?

Thank you.

Here is my version of Sisters Formosa from Gaz Minis.

Very happy to paint this 'pin-up' girl from Gaz Minis, I love his sculpts and are great fun to paint. I like the way the skin came out, lots of large flatish areas, which are not always easy to paint, but I am happy with the tone and finish I got on it.

Tried to do a different armor color and was happy with it.

Now to finish the combat patrol

We went to the Viennas Warhammer store and it was a 10/10 experience! I had a nice chat with the guy in the store and he showed us how to paint the miniatures and gave us two to paint and keep for free. The space marine is mine and the Stromcast is my girlfriends. I think she nailed it perfectly, but we would love yalls opinion.
It has been only a week I have been interested in Warhammer and I feel very welcomed so far :))

I would also love some tips on what to buy now, so we can paint some great stuff at home. I have a 3D printed and started printing some fan-made minis at home just to admire them, do you think I can paint on them aswell? (PLA)

Glory to the Emperor! Thanks for reading everyone.

His robes are stained with the blood of those who refused the New Covenant.

To the faithful, they were heathens clinging to dying gods.

To the Old Oaths, they were the last true keepers of the North.

The Reliquary Marshal does not question which is true.

He carries out the will of the New Covenant.

Another warrior joins the world of Black Oaths.

Would you march beneath the banners of the Relic Orders?
