    Have been 25 years out of the hobby and finally got around to sticking my foot back into the water yesterday. The efforts I made with a few minis were…bad - but I learned some things. I did however have more success with some basing for them and I’m rather pleased with how I did

        Attempting slapchop with far too littlr drybrush coverage underneath and not realising the weak coverage of some contrast paints :)

          In that case I’m precisely the wrong person to ask about contrast paints. I think the slapchop kind of creates more work than it solves. There’s a pretty good Duncan Rhodes side by side video of contrast paint vs slap chop contrast vs old fashion base colors with brown wash all over that I think should be in mind at least by painters looking to knock out lots of minis quickly.

    Been working on some Incursors for the last little while:

    Tried some new stuff on these guys. Used Flesh tearers red contrast paint with mephiston red dry brushed over top for the power armor, and played around a lot with hair and skin colours.

    Kit-bashing a Lokhust Lord torso using a Lychguard, extra chronomancer hand, and primaris techmarine servo arm joint.

    I also cut down the rod so it works as a lord’s blade.

    Waiting on the destroyer bodies to complete it.
