So this is my blog. I'm fairly new, and have been painting for a couple of months, though I have painted for about a year; 5 years ago. The focus of this blog is going to be on developing my painting skills. I really wanna be able to paint absolutely beautiful. So constructive criticism will be appreciated.
I'm mainly going to be painting ultramarines and dark angels.

EDIT: just to clarify my miniature painting experience. Painted for 6 months at age 12, a couple of months at age 16+18. my current streak is painting since april. And this time its gotten a hold on me. I've also managed to start playing at my FLGS

Don't know what more to say

pictures are coming

here are some of the figures I have painted so far. I'm particulary happy with the termie sarge.

Imp. Monkey

**indiana1000**

Wow these are nice can't wait to see the sternguard!

**Lawkeeper**

Pretty nice, man. Never seen a scout with a powerfist before..

**Xenon**

Very impressive job if you are beginner. Your experience of panting will sure come handy when painting miniatures.

**monkeytroll**

Nice, if this is how you start things off I'd say your wish to be able to paint beautifully is very likely to come true

Just watch for those mould lines

**cosmic pixie**

I am Green with envy. Seriously good for a beginner. BUt a wash could be good if you have not used one already.

Yesh! An ultramarines player!

Good job! You're better than me, I'm trash at freehand and cloth.
What white are you using? It looks really clean and good.

**nielsen333**

Thanks for the kind words

and I shall remember to fight those mold lines. As promised here are some pictures of my converted plastic sternguards (in the bottom) Also some more pictures of my termie sgt

**Samus_aran115**

Looks good. Nice use of that awesome cloak. That seems to be the main reason people buy that kit.

my recipe for the white fur on the termie :

(all my miniatures are coated black)

1) the fur was painted with vallejo azul gris (grey blue)
2) drybrushed with vallejo gris cielo (sky grey)
3) drybrushed with vallejo plain white
