So ive primered and painted 2 practice spacemarines that ive gotten from that paint set i used white primer but painted them all black just to get a feel on how to do things. it sucks putting red over black, and using white, well anyways my question would be, im painting up blood angels soon and a couple death company squads i have a poor tec. im just starting i just want table top quality b/c thats just about all i can do. can anyone suggest a few videos or maybe some websites to check out. maybe give me guidlines on some brushes to use i use a few cheap brushes and i have 4 reapers. a couple round, a few details, a few what i think is dry brushes.

here you go and hope to see pics soon! always awesome adding more people to the community!

so here is my frist ever painted mini. as far as painting i need better lighting and possibly a magnifing glass

pic is kind of blurry and i was minimal with detail for like i said this is my first time. red was hard to do over the black and im not getting the concept of thinning out the paint i suppose i cant get the paint out of its container with out dumping alot of just using a brush. well here it is thanks for checking it out and any pointer would be greatly appreciated.

Turn your brush around and use the non brush end of your paintbrush, dip it in the paint slightly them use that to dab paint on your pallete. and then add a similar amount of water with the same method.
