Thank you! The secret is long years of practice and knowing how to make good look like it's great :)

Well said.

Well said.

Like most of what I do is very simple techniques: drybrushing, shade and a layer, etc, but executed very well - with getting a very good base color down first doing a lot of the work. I push myself here and there, but it’s really all about knowing what my limits are and how to maximize what I can do within them.

 

It’s always amusing when we’re playing at the FLGS and people come by and gush on about my armies (cause I paint my partner’s as well) and they say things like “Wow you should do this professionally/be in competitions these are amazing!” I very much appreciate the compliments, but it’s like being hot shizz for my local softball league and people going “Wow you should play for the Yankees!”

What exactly is a Catachan ??!

Basing material for drop pods.

"Iron Star" is a good name for an Iron Hands vehicle. The model looks GREAT.

Well done. Is the thunder hammer wielder an SGT, LT, or other leader?

[wildweasel]

Intercessor Sergeant. Very familiar with the back of an Impulsor.

Getting along with the last of it, next steps are to clean up the black and drybrush the armor, then on to spot colors!

Saving the most complex for last:

Thanks !

Of course who knows once GW releases the new rules for all the FW stuff :)

[wildweasel]

Just need to clip and clean the repulsor plates, then it’s ready for prime(-r) time! Well, need to green stuff a few gaps first.

Can of metallic primer died mid batch, so had to finish the repulsor plates with black:
