Hi all, decided to start a new army this week, and as it coincided with new paints being released I got aload of new ones. I've made the paint scheme up completely and not looked at any how to guides, so would greatly appreciate all feedback! I want the army to be orange themed mainly, with vehicle having orange stripes and panels etc. the armour could possibly do with a brighter highlight... What do you think? If I do another highlight shall I do orange/yellow or orange/white?

Thanks for looking!



P.s it isn't quite finished, I'm aware the gems and trophies on his back are still black!

The white is pallid wych flesh which covered amazingly, single coat and it covered the grey flawlessly, it's fairly thick and I didn't water it down... Will try the next one slightly watered down and see if it still covers well. They are the new metallics also, havnt got the technique down for them that we'll yet, as have only painted tyranids before.

The green looks better in the flesh, it's actually a dark green highlighted with a bright one, and the dark one doesn't show so well. I may give it a green wash and see it it comes together a bit better! Thanks for the replies!

Sorry for the wrong area posting, base is drying as we speak... Trying to decide on base colourings!

The new base paints are really good, they really do cover really well. Infact, they all paint really nicely and I've not had to do more than one layer of any colour. Unfortunately there is no dry orange so I'm using the base orange to dry and the highlight orange (jakero orange) to do the highlights. Do people think I should do a brighter edge?
