Hi all,

I am very slowly getting through my homebrew guard and space marine armies. Would love any advice on improving my painting skills. Sorry about my camera though.

Would love some ideas on what colour to paint the marines weapons and eyes. I'm at a bit of a loss.

Any thoughts on the lion front of the dread?

Hope you like them. More to come for the guard and marines too.

Here's the dread

Nice enough scheme.

Some shading with Inks/washes would be nice.

A third colour on some details like belt or breast plate may also help the models pop a bit.

And you've put some work into the bases, so finish them to help round out your minis.


Also digging the Royal /Lion theme.

Got a name yet?

Thank you for the advice defiant.

Have added a gold to the trim as the third colour ad will get up some pictures soon.

Was thinking Doom Lions?? Thoughts?

Also here is my living saint who kind of leads my fluff guard army

Here she is
