Well, first time uploading my WIP miniatures... please, be gentle :b

Also, I am a slow painter (a bit on the wanna-be perfectionist side) - and I manage my time rather poorly (and being winter, there isn't a lot of sun to paint), so I expect progress to be slow. Anyway, I'm thankful for any comments

Here goes...

(I didn't think the highlight lines would look so thick, but anyway, this is one of the old metal marines, the other ones will have thinner lines. Also, I'm not sure about the lines on the Nob's arms, they don't look half as good in the picture... So I might ditch them. Not to mention the weathering on the Crimson Fists Assault Marine... I might have to try a bit harder.)

These are looking good. The blue Crimson Fist armor looks great. Nice and dulled down. The face on your commander looks great too! I really like his stubble. Looking forward to seeing where you go with these projects.

Thank you Moltar, I'm following the tips on GW's article (painting faces Redux) which is great for both Ork skin, and human skin.

Though I must say I should improve my photographic skills (I never thought I should read the tutorials until now :/ ), as some of the colours are lost due to darkness/yellowing on the untreated photos.

Will try to keep posting, thank you for the support!

Very nice and crisp highlights! Cant wait to see some finished figures

Very nice! Take all the time you need if you continue giving us such eye candy.
