Very nice! A small suggestion on the Termies, if I may - a little edge highlighting would properly make the red pop, I think. |

I keep thinking I've gone round them all but then find batch jobs I haven't done on some. I swear to Pob someone keeps adding purity seals to them. Also, in the Grimdark, Terminators sure love a bit of bling! |

Pooled areas will come out lighter, thinner blue. Then I used some weathering powder to add patches of orange and a thin brown to add veins. |

I feel the same, I look at this stuff and think I'd like to give it a go, and it looks reasonably possible from the photos. Then if you pick up a mini and actually see the size of it, I have no idea how a lot of this stuff is even possible. I'm getting old, my close up vision isn't as good as it used to be, no way i'd be able to focus enough on what I was trying to paint. |

It was only after going to Warhammer World and seeing the displays that made me go "huh, these are small". It's odd. Do it! |

The chap with the power sword was one I did a while ago, but I painted his mate in the last couple of days. I fancied a break from terrain building, and what with all this being at home I have been digging out old miniatures to paint... I’ve got quite a lot - I should probably either do the old space hulk set or the rest of the imperial assault minis..! |
