Finally! Fourth and final badger painted!
Time for a new project!
These look flippin amazing! Oh I can absolutely say I’m beyond excited for your new project Unknown!
Big thanks! I'm just relieved that the quality ended up consistent with all four of them.
Havn't posted on here for a long while!
I thought I'd share my latest work, a minotaur wrestler for a game called Rumbleslam. I'm not sure if I like it or not, the finer points of shading elude me, I think.
Also, I need to find a better matt varnish, one that isn't so shiny, the one thing it's not meant to be!

Holy moly Badger! The fur is amazing with all the different shades of colour you've added! :D
Also Budge uwu (sorry I just couldn't help myself)

Fantastic! I got my start years ago painting the Imperial Guard for Warhammer 40k. I now paint Tau.
As for advice, make sure to thin your paints before applying them to miniatures. So many headaches can be saved by making sure your paint isn't too thick. Get yourself a dirt cheap palette, put a blob of point of whatever colour you're going to use on it and then apply a little water to it until it's thin enough to use BUT not so thin that it's basically coloured water, because that will just drip down the miniature.
My big piece of advice is relax and don't worry about making superb miniatures from the start. I'll have to dig out my old guardsmen, they are rough, but it's a learning process. You're first set of miniatures are there for you to get experience with putting paint from brush to miniature.
Let me know if you need help with anything, I'm always happy to give advice! :)
You're welcome! I'm always happy to help a newcomer to the hobby!
Any idea what 40k army you want to go for?
Good choice! I love the Salamanders, plenty of flamethrowers and melta-guns! :D
I actually have a friend who plays warhammer 40k. He suggested the Salamanders to me. RN, I play another miniatures game called Star Wars: Legions.
I've been curious about Star Wars: Legions, that looks fun! Have you painted miniatures for that?
Salamanders is a good choice to start with. They are tricky to kill, hit hard up close and are a good starting army to paint too.
