*edit got bored of the killakan , found my first painted mini while digging in the bits box though!

as you can see i was very excited about decal , tried to attach it to where ever there is a large flat area.
(back then it felt like it was a cheating way to paint , able to achieve such smooth imagery lol)
dunno where the flag went , base was long gone too.

Cool what parts are you using?

I think the limbs are alright, I just would, personally use ... a powerfist type of weapon, not a power klaw. Or a fist with a hammer. ... I donno why lol.

It looks like a mechanical dog lifting it's leg to fire its penis cannon lol to pee.

I think 'shoulder' mounted cannons would look good. With an ork/grot commander popping out from the cupola too.

i'd aim the cannon up or something, otherwise it looks like it has a huge schlong

*Edit , not killakan anymore :p

Pretty awesome for a first go.

That's patently untrue. You can't go around saying obviously false things about your painting skills thanks to the Gallery.

She was being so modest it hurt.

No no its not modesty , give other company's paints / products a try
it really brings a complete turn around how the finished product looks.
not to mention the less time it takes.

*sigh*

:O Where is the killa Kan?

My first mini was a lizardman that came with the WHFB starter paint kit (5 lizardmen plus... 8 paints? and two brushes...)

It was a blue blob. I was very proud of that blue blob. lol.

That looks pretty good for a first mini. How old were you when you painted that? My first was done when I was.....11ish? I still have it, and it really wasnt too bad either, nothing like that tho lol

wow...for having painted my first only a few years ago, I have to keep my eyes on my shoes and bow my head in shame. It actually has a colour scheme! Grrr....

The color scheme was mix of the 2 . tried gold and yellow but it didnt cover at all , went on to the next shade that actually stays covered.
