Hey hey! just finished up some Scouts for my space marines to get them out of way! , I dunno why but i really struggle with painting faces so that's something I am not happy with!

I did a Tallen Flesh base-coat then a wash of ogryn flesh , went over with VGC dwarf flesh and Elf Flesh (which for some reason went all blotchy, even though i thinned and used matte medium ) so I ended up washing with Devlin mud ... rather than making more of a mess!

Does any one have better way that i could do it ? or least salvage what I've done?

Other than that mini's are pretty much finished (for viewing from 2ft away game purposes)

Thanks for looking!

I like the colors, but it seems like the red is competing with the turquoise. Maybe a more muted red?

At any rate I think they look really great and I like the writing on the chainsword.

Cool, very well painted!

"struggle with painting faces" my left nut...

These are fine. Better than fine. You don't need to "salvage" them. You've done an excellent job. I particularly like the blue, and while I can see Cave Dweller's point, I think thta the red makes an interesting point contrast with the main color. It draws the eye first to the weapons, which makes them seem a little more aggressive than the average scout.

Faces good. No worry. They work from way closer than 2 feet!

very good paintjob !

Awsome writing on the chian sword, very clean models, nice job.

Nice and clean. Great job
