Hi guys!, i only started doing Warhammer a few months back and id never really painted anything like them before now,
i used to build the models but thats about it!...

so here i am going to show you some photos of some of my painted army...

i hope you guys like what ive done...

as i said it is a 1st attempt so please dont be too harsh lmao...























let me know what you think guys! =] =]

Looks great, the colors remind me of 2nd edition nids

I find it hard to believe that these are your first minis. Very good, very detailed.

haha cheers mate!, they are infact my first minis... i still have alot to learn though with shading and highlighting but i will get there eventually! =] =]

Haha wow i like the bright colours, if those poped out of the ground i'd be like oh #$% attack of the monstrous fruit looking beasts RUN!! great job man

Ummm. Your basing skills show that this isn't your first model.
I doubt that entirely If they are your a lucky so and so. If they're not then they're still very good.

Those are so good that I want to call you a troll.

But I'll take your word for it, and simply laud you for your incredible talent! You run circles around my relatively-new-at-painting backside!

Did you do a lot of research before you put brush to mini?

I like the color scheme.

but I think you need to work on the heads a little more, the eyes and the teeth are the same color as the rest of the skin.

Great job on painting, especially for the first time! Only one problem, you didn't paint the eyes...

These are awesome, wait. WTF these are your first models?! You should be proud.

I absolutely love your colour choices.

These are pro !

Well painted, but the eyes, teeth, tongue need to be a different colour to the main body.

Those are coloury sparkling nids! As mentioned reminds alot of 2nd edition.

I can't believe these are your first. Very good paint job. I don't like the colours so much personally but I still think they look great!

What you may want to try out is shading or blacklining.

why?

These are awesome! 3 Trygons :3

lol cheers for all the kind words... i am not a troll i assure you, i picked up my minis around 2 months ago roughly...

i have spent alot of those 2 months painting, so i have put alot of time and effort into them....

as for the bases.... i own reptiles aswell and i like to make their tanks look as natural as possible so im used to doing stuff similar i guess because of that, just use alot less glue for the reptiles lol....

i will need to go over my models doing the eyes, teeth and tongues!.

thank you for all the tips youve given me =] =]

and im really not liying... these really are my 1st minis (for those who dont believe me)

Wow. For your first models, they're pretty awesome.

The eyes and teeth need defining though.

Those look great! You have way more skill than me and I've been painting for 6 months now lol

U lie... these are not your firsts... I HAVE PROFF! (which involves an Alternative reality were this would be your 6th year of painting model tanks and planes)

They are great! love the colours and all

By first attempt... did you mean this week?

Good job!

Also you should never paint Tyranid eyes...

Good job....
and I laughed so hard at the google guants.

Your army looks awesome! I'm just curious what colors you used for your army.

Very, very good work. I am very impressed at your 1st army, you will no doubt become a superb painter very quickly judging from this solid start.

Peoples "1st" miniatures are getting much better at a rather alarming rate. Truly amazing figs!

Makes me wonder if it's because of the quality of all the Articles and advice on the Internet. I think my early attempts 20 years ago were poor because I didn't prime, I didn't thin paints and I didn't have decent brushes. It seems the advice and techniques, you tube tutorials seem to have raised the bar and beginners seem to flourish quickly because of this? Who knows eh?

Yeah, it seems people are reasearching places before they paint their figs and not after they try their first attempt.

I think the next generation of painters is going to produce some pretty awesome stuff.

I agree with all the support from the internet.

These are my first minis and while they are nowhere near golden demon they are above just 'tabletop standard' and alot of the techniques I used were from the internet and painting guides. The citadel mins painting guide went along way to help me.

Great job on the nids. Keep up the good work, looking forward to seeing more from you.

P.S. The google bugs are Great!

Nicely done for your first attempts. Look forwarding to seeing the next batch you do

its actually very interesting what you guys are saying about beginners, i didnt use any sort of help with these guys, just my imagination!, though since then i have gone and found new techniques and such and my painting really has improved!
i will start a new thread tomorrow for my grey knights! and will then link it into this thread and see what you guys think of my painting now haha ... chhers for all the kind words btw!
