Well, after returning to the hobby after roughly 10 years, it has been an interesting adventure to start learning how to paint again. Quite a bit of inconsistency on these guys as I tried to figure out things like dry brushing, wet blending, layering and these new things called shade paints that weren't around back when I quit.

Would love some critique and advice what I could work on to improve on my next unit.

One of the things I feel like I'm really struggling with is eyes and teeth. This became grossly apparent as i'm working on my Nurglings now and finally gave up on the eyes after the third attempt as "oh well will have to do because I'm not stripping these guys just to try eyes again and I can't keep putting more paint on." I don't know if it's paint consistency, the order I'm painting things, some technique I don't know about or if my hands just aren't steady enough. But I see so many awesome, detailed eyes on here that aren't just a blob of single coloured paint and I just can't do it.

Well they are repulsive and hideous, so they look good to me.
Nice models! Look like byakhee! Nurgle itself is pretty Lovecraftian.
