Well hey everyone. Really sorry that I have been putting this off for so long. I said that I would post pics of some painted minis but I didn't and I must apologize. Well here they are now.

Errr.... do these work? I think my friend who took the pics likes blue better than red. And thanks for the comment, LordAK. Do you have any tips on how I might improve?

Nice! Yes, the red Guardian comes out nicely. The thing about re is that it works well even without highlighting. You might want to try washing it with a darker red or brown inks/wash/watered down paint. This should start setting you up for a cool looking Saim Hann army. How do you like jetbikes?

Thanks! Appreciate the advice too. I really like the look of the jetbikes. Just that I'm doing an Imperial Fist for the PWGC event. Eldar have a really nice elegant look though.

The red looks nice.. The simplest thing you can do to improve the look:
i. put some dark washes at the deep areas; and/or
ii. orange/yellow hightlights over the edges.

Keep it up!

Ditto for the gretchin. Wash it with a dark colour (e.g. Nuln Oil) to bring out the details.

Apply a really thick layer of wash, as it will thin into the crevices once dry.

If you don't have wash, dilute some dark brown / black paint and add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid for an equivalent. It breaks the surface tension.

Gretchins are supposed to be lighter in colour than Orks. Maybe a simple dark wash, then highlighting with a lighter green to bring up the details.

Ok. Thanks for the info. Those were my first mini's ever painted. I'm glad to be learning a lot through this. Smile
