This is my first Batch of IG vehicles & I am not an expert painter. But all criticism is welcome nevertheless. I hope you like them though. There is 1-Leman Russ, 3 -Sentinels & 1-Chimera. I have a Auto Cannon turret for my chimera being shipped from Forge world but it is being delayed because of the Postal strike in the UK. Hopefully I will be able to post pics of it on my Chimera soon.Plus I am not completely done with all the detail yet which I will soon get too.

They are pretty dark, but from what I can see in the pics (they are a little bit blurry) they look pretty good. Id suggest highlighting some things to make them pop a bit more.

Yeah I was think about using Tin bitz to paint the Imperial Eagle insignia on the tanks. By the way which parts should I highlight you where not really specific on that.

Edge highlights of the armour plates, and the rivets. It doesn't need to be very light because the basic colour is dark.

Don't do it on everything. Pick an angle and imagine the light is coming from there, and do light highlights on the edges it would catch.

Thanks.

They look... well... boring really. You need to pick a few things out in different colours. It doesn't have to be pronounced - subtlety is your friend in the painting field. Things like some rust streaks around rivets, colouring lamps, dirt/weathering, adding some small prayer scrolls or accessories, painting the cooling ports on the plasma cannon, etc... would go a long way to making the vehicles look much more appealing.

Very nice, but I think they could do with another colour somewhere. Not loads, just a little bit. Also as Metallifan said ''rust streaks around rivets, colouring lamps, dirt/weathering''


Slappy

I would sugest making some flags and glueing them to your tanks. It would add some more variety to your models, Alot of combat damage would achieve the same effect as well (scratches, bullet holes etc.).
