OK this is my first non-intorduction post and with much trepidation here is the first unit i have finished painting (I guess). Ive only painted military models many many years ago when i was in 7th grade so I know im not up to this forums skill level. That being said what advice does this forum have for me? Here is the first one and will be have many core troopers looking exactly like it. The special weapons figures will be slightly different.

i also have absolutely no idea about the base (flocking). Its gale force nine fine sand that was slightly painted "Rust" color of the Model Master brand. Do i keep the base black or should the base edge be the same rust? so...

Sorry new phone and didnt realize it would be that small. I really need a real camera.

The armor is gore red and blood red. the skull face painted on the mask is bleached bone. The dirt is rust painted....

Hope this one is better...

Uhm static grass. I thought flocking was the process and not neccesarily a specific type. I used wood glue, put the "sand" on part then stuck a bunch of static grass on another part.

GaleForce Nine has some cheap stuff. I guess its good. I just bought it myself and as evidenced by this topic am clueless.
