First Berzerker like these guys much better than regular berserkers

Not bad at all, a highlight on the red carapace would make it look far better though.

Yup, I'd agree with Norn King. It looks good, but could do with a little more depth

Thanks guys, i really just started to attempt to highlight a week ago, any reccomendations on carapce highlught color?

Well, I'd have to ask what colour you used as the base coat? I'm afraid I can't offer any advice without knowing this!

Also, are you thinning your paints down a little? You have all the neatness in the world, and that's vital. But if you are not thinning your paints out, you should be...

No i'm not thinning them, i used to play afew years ago and never highlighted or shade or washed, but now that i graduated and have more time and money i picked the hobby back up and am really trying to get into the modeling painting aspect, not just throwing them together sloppily to play with. The red was carnage red from reaper mini, i attempted some highlighting on him but wasn't too sure how maybe its a bad angle but there is a little there haha

and how exactlly do i think paints outs? Thanks!

As to you color:

I would start with a deeper red and then shade up. you're at a pretty high red right now, so if you want to take it up, you're going to have to move into oranges and that may not be what you're looking for with berzerkers.

As to thinning:

Go spend $15 at hobby lobby/michaels at get the following two things:

and

Put some of your matte medium (you may as well get the biggest you can find. You can usually find a 40% off coupon for Michaels or Hobby Lobby) into the dropper bottle, but some of your paint on a pallette, and then drop some of the matte medium into your paint. YMMV on how thin you'd like it, but experiment. As a general consensus, you'll want your colors to be around the consistency of milk.

Cheers.

Great thanks i just picked up a few supplies from michaels for basing i have to go back and will look for that stuff. I think the red may look lighter here than it is, i used the same red on my land raider and it almost looks like a word bearer land raider, but i took a pic of it and under the light of the camera it seems to look alot lighter
