Here are some of the first miniatures I've painted in 15yrs. Still need to get back up to format, but now looking towards airbrushing. Any C&C most welcome! Always looking to improve and learn.

Well, I enjoyed turning my monitor upside down to look at them (You may want to sort out their rotation there)

But despite photo rotation they look very good. The colours are clean and the highlighting is very neat. If I have any criticism (and this first one is very much my opinion and yours may differ) it's that your plasma effect needs to be smoother, try putting a blue glaze over it if you can. The basing is also good (something that is often overlooked by other painters). Nicely done

They look pretty good to me!

That is some mighty impressive work considering that you haven't probably even touched a brush for 15 years - I particularly like the effects on the power weapons for the Company Master, Librarian and Deathwing Sergeant

My only recommendation would be to thin your paints with a bit of water to produce a more smooth finish on the model; I only started this about half a year ago and it has made my models look infinitely better.

Also if you are painting the rest of the DV set then consider checking out the tutorials for all the models in it on Warhammer TV on Youtube

Other than that, great stuff!

Thanks! I don't know what is going on with the rotation. I showcased them in the Gallery and they uploaded without a problem.

Yup, nice work. Welcome back in the saddle

Lovely job Look forward to more!
