So im new to 15mm gaming and painted a few things to see if i was any good at it.
I did like the way they came out though i wanted to do a blue and tan color but couldn't make it work for these models.

So i chose a white.
Tell me what you think, some things i need to touch up.

But the tower thing is so-post to be a exhaust pipe with a computer that lets you turn it off and on for certain scenarios. which is made with all tau bits.

wow they all look really good well done!

good job
maybe just define the lines a bit more i guess?

Yeah thats what i was thinking to.

They look very good... I've never painted any 15 mil, just b/c none of the games i play are 15s, but i have thought about getting into some of them. Is it harder to paint them, or just different. Any tips from anybody onn how to paint 15 mils?

Nice, maybe a few mor3e coats of white, god I hate painting in white.... though it looks bloody good for being white

I just got into it because i saw some people at my game store playing it and it looks really cool on the table. Painting isnt bad the only problem i have is trying to find a paint scheme to use, once you know what you want you can fly through the models.

Plus its really cheap you can usually get like 20 models or more for $10.00

A couple of things.

You may want to rebase that tower, it looks good, but also looks unbalanced which may mean it gets knocked over during play. I would suggest a round base, or at lease center it on the base better.

The infantry guy looks good. Consider a wash, especially on the face to bring out some of the detail. A micron pen may help if you wanted to try and do eyes on it.

Here are some 15mm I have done. Not that the pictures ar VERY close on a couple, so that the crappy painting is obvious. View them smaller/closer to figure size on my photobucket page and they look a lot better:

I tryed some more paint test and finally found a paint scheme that i liked and was happy with the results. To me it came out very good.

Fantastic! The face shield really makes the figure pop!

Yes! After i got done i was happy on how good the face came out, i tryed to make it seem like it was glowing a little.

Now i just have to paint 21 more of these
