I thought I would show off my newly finished Sternguard Heavy Flamer, done with a metal sternguard and plastic multimelta kit.
I need to go over the red in a few places, which I didn't realise until I took the photos

Hey bro looks great only advise is to thin your paint out as bif looks like you have whacked it on very thickly so looks a little steaky

Like Lextheimpaler (btw isnt that the stage name of an X rated actor?) i think your white paint is a bit thick, try basecoating with a slightly thinned astronomicon grey and then painting lots of thin layers of white.

Yeah I realised that when I was painting, but carried on in my normal stubborn way It's based with Dheneb stone but I didn't dilute my Skull White

Well what I was going to say has been said a few times now. Other then that I like it. Even the odd colors seem to work together on it. Enjoy burning some stuff

Maybie a little bit of highlighting would help and try using lots of thin layers rather that a thick layer, especially on white! Makes it look streaky! Other than that, it looks good!

Well I won't restate the paint part of the discussion, but I will say I like your idea for Heavy Flamers.

Nice conversion. What's Chapter is he from?

My own The Crimson Jackals

I deliberately don't highlight most of my models for many reasons, mostly because I'm not very good at them yet...

Yeah, I'm noticing the sizzle more than the actual paintjob.

I agree with the others, the paint is a bit thick but it's a very neat colour scheme. Also the gap between the flamer and the multi-melta could use a bit of GS but apart from that its a good conversion.

Hope you have fun roasting xenos with it!
