Finally finished this bugger, ended up coming out better than i expected because the white was really holding it back. I think im going to swap to a light grey in the future lol. Instant any wash of ANY color hits the white i gotta repaint the damn thing

Base came out excellent imo. Tried to go for a ruins look rather than the usual rocky soil.

Also i need to get more light sources for my pictures. The one lamp that i use when i paint doesnt cut it lol.

Looks good! For the wash non white thing, I almost always do white dead last for the same reason. I find it helps if you do everything including washes first, then carefully paint in white around the areas you have washed for recess details.

My problem with that is my hands arent that steady, Theres a lot of places that arent so out-front that i just ignored because its so hard for me to paint that thinly and not spill over lol

Fair enough, it takes practice to get "steady". I practically wedge myself into the table with both elbows against it and holding the model in both hands to get steady for fine detail. It ends up not so much steady, as everything just shakes at the same time and matches up

Its magnetized so i can swap the weapons too i just didnt paint the HBC yet. Not sure if i even wanna bother anyway since theres no way im running 2 HBCs and i already got one lol.

Still need to get my Farsight Enclave though. Might find some shenanigans that will make me want to get dual HBCs lol

If you have trouble with your hands shaking, try pressing your wrists to each other on the vein side. After a bit their shaking will synch up with each other and it won't be as noticeable when painting.

Also, less coffee, eat more meals, etc.

The riptide looks good yeah, and gray works well with purple. It's called the 'Decepticon Effect'.
