Update on the flanking force.

I left details out on the weapons, beyond some basic gold picking out. because my skill is not good enough yet.
All the faces i washed in blue to see how frostbit i could get them.

Looking good. The blue wash to try to give the appearance of frost bite is a cool idea.

I think if you want to develop your painting you need to look at building up layers of colour of starting with a base colour and building up to the highlights.

Games Workshop do some fantastic Youtube vids of painting tutorials, I recommend you check them out.

You should watch some paint tutorials on youtube or the games workshop ones, you are still using paint that is far far far too thick. You should be thinning the paint so much that you may be required to apply another coat (at the same consistency) for certain colours. You can then look into layering paints for more depth, highlighting, correct use of inks for shading, dry brush etc etc

If you follow tutorials and only work on one miniature at a time whilst your skills increase you'll be able to track a clear progression of your ability whilst minimising the impact it has on to the look of the army overall.

Thin your paints. I can't stretch this enough for inexperienced painters. It is always better to apply multiple coats than to apply one really thick coat that obscures details.

Other than that I can't see a solid paint scheme throughout the army and it is a huge army nonetheless.

Keep painting and most importantly watch youtube tutorials.

Got milk?

All I can say about painting is that VMC tastes much better than VMA... especially black...

For those space wolves.

gak could not get any thinner. I have do dozes of layers to get those colors to look like that.

The only color that was not thinned down thinner then milk was the purple on the cloak.

ive watched tutorials.. hell i streamed the entire painting of them.

Started with 6 layers of the light blue for a base.
Details in the darker blue about 9 layers there
picked out the gold fine details. That stuff was super watery. those 14-16 layers of the gold.
did the 8 layers of the metalic blue stuff.
the faces, got 5 layers each of parchment, then light flesh, then dark flesh.
The blood stripes on the riders and the colors on banner and saddles are both 8 layers thick.
two layers of the blue wash.

Is the problem that im putting too many layers down so it looks thick?

those pics are in unnatural light.

Judging by the video you aren't doing something wrong regarding paint thinning. What are the colors you are using? Are they intended for miniature painting? Not a lot of things can go wrong with acrylics but you never know.

These are all the paints i have. beside a couple pots of Ushabti Bone. 1.5 pots of nuln oil, 1 mostly full pot of army painter blue tone.

Now that ive gotten better at thining paints, ill post the tyranids im working on tonight once i get some more layers on them.

Most of the cavalry were painted a few months ago, i really just did touchups the past couple days on them. some of my old layers are soooo thick compaired to the ones im doing tonight. Its a clear difference in them. Same with the shrouds ive almost got finished.

Here are the six genestealers i did last night.
I did a fair bit more blending with this.. then i would with a space marine.
I primed it by hand with the white paint really thin. I use my spotter brush to run the neon pink for the inner/under layers. Then I went with 6 layers of the purple on the torso. then one purple on the whole body. The just 4 of the blue on limbs. and four more on the claws of the pearl+glow in the dark.

I did one layer of the green on a head or two, but i dont really like its look

Quick update: I havnt done a full accounting yet of who all is present and finished for the Chapter. Instead i took a sidetrack to my Pack and fleshed them out a bit.
The flanking force is mostly finished, only have 6 squads of 6 wolves.. instead of 5 at 15. so plenty more wolves to do still. I did do two squads of the grey hunters and a banner for them.
I am using some old warhammer fantasy models to represent the bloodclaws, I did not paint them but i really like the models so instead of them collecting dust on the shelf. they are being used as bloodclaws. Ill be adding bits to them to make them look more appropriate.

Right now im working on finishing up the Legionnaire Tactical Marines for Battle Company 1/company3 in 40k and the core of my 30k army. Ive got 30 of them that should be finished tonight at some point. Once i get my WIP stuff finished. Ill start taking pictures of the various companies. Most of my bikes, i removed the tl bolter holder as i made them normal bikes, im replacing all those bits with the winged dark angel bits. Company 5 is finished, Company 2 is about half present, only 3 squads from 1st company are here. the rest all have at least a squad present.

THis is the final upload of the night.

Lots of WIP, This is what ive accomplished in the past year.. these three posts.

Lots of touch ups needed, still some are awaiting base coating, or even full assembly.
I baggy things up in squad then assemble then paint.

RW is all being upgraded to the angel wings for their handle bars instead of the standard SM TL Bolter Holder.

ITs been alot of fun
