C&C Wanted Didn't place at local competition, looking for c&c!

Theme of comp was eldritch horror, found this mini of nylarthotep and thought it would be perfect. Spent probably 20-30 hours on it, speedpaints, regular, airbrushing, every technique i know and some I experimented with for the first time. Winning mini was more of a diorama than a singular mini (allowed in the rules of the competition, that's another topic entirely though), so looking for any ways I can improve for the next one!

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the feedback! It's been great to get great constructive criticism. Unfortunately I've got to get actual work done (gotta pay the bills after all) so I've got to wait to reply to any one else!

I normally paint my Space Marines as Blood Angels but I have had a go at an Ultra Marine for a painting competition at my local gaming store. I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out.

Help Needed/New Painter Painting necron recessed line

Thumbnail
gallery
54 Upvotes

Hello! I used to play Warhammer several years ago, but I wasn't much into painting. Now I'm trying to become a better painter. I'm painting Necron Lychguards with a blue color scheme. I am trying to paint the recessed lines on the shields with a bright blue color. I used Vallejo white ink first, then Vallejo fluo blue. But it's a mess every time (see first picture), and I spent a lot of time fixing it for mixed results... (second picture).

I tried it with different levels of dilution and different paintbrushes. Am I doing it the wrong way, or am I just not good enough with my brush yet.

C&C Wanted Using only colors from a Deck of Many Colors card

I recently got my Deck of Many Colors and wanted to try using only the colors on the card. I struggle with using other paints beyond my “crutch” paints and recipes. I feel like some of my blends could be improved and that I could punch up the highlights especially on the cape.

C&C Wanted WIP on AoS Chaos Warrior that I'm planning to use as my DnD character

Lots of first for me on this one. First time magnetizing, first time doing sub-assembly, first time using a shade that isn't agrax earthshade.

I've only been painting for about 4 months, and this is probably the most amount of effort I'm putting into a single mini yet. I love the way it's turning out and very hyped to put this beautiful bastard on the DnD table.

If anybody has any tricks or tips to take this to the next level I'd love to hear 'em!

(For those wondering, I'm playing a venge pally goliath)

Finished my first blight hauler for my Skaven Deathguard.

So happy with how the skin came out on it. Very happy with the armour too. Tried a heat affect on the melta which looks okay.

Still struggling with make the verdigris look right. Does any one have any tips for this?

Some sections look okay but then others just seem to be a pale green blob.

Using the army painter verdigris affect paint heavily thinned with water.

Finished this Beastboss. The main focus was balancing all the different materials on one model: fur, reptilian scales, weathered bone, and chipped armor plates. Went with a high-contrast scheme to make each element stand out on the tabletop. C&C is welcome!

Help Needed/New Painter Anyone else feel stuck with minimal progress?

14 Upvotes

I've been kind of stuck in a rut recently, painting sub-par model after model. I think what frustrates me most is the money I pour into it to get results I find subpar. For example, I'm tackling a diorama with these smaller 28mm animals, and they look like someone just squirted paint on them and they have little to no depth; they are fairly flat-surfaced as well, with some detail but not a lot. I've reprimed and tried again, just to still be annoyed. What things do y'all do to try and break outta the funk or come up with new tactics?
