Hello everyone, I haven't painted a miniature since I was fifteen and having been lurking on this forum for the past couple of days..... here goes nothing.

When I used to paint (late 90's), NMM wasn't something that I remember seeing in White Dwarf so I figured I'd bite off more than I can chew and start off with it.

I've only painted the Imperial motif so it's obviously WIP but I'd love any tips, pointers or criticisms.

Much Nicer than my attempts a NMM I prefer regular metallics

It looks fine, but you could probably bring out the yellows and whites a bit more. At the moment it's looking a little too brown for my tastes. Still, fantastic job for your first try, took me ages before mine looked that good

The thing is, I don't have a white at the minute so all of the highlights are Bleached Bone: Sunburst Yellow; that'll be why it's lacking some contrast!.

Cheers for the replies guys.

Most painters use NMM on flags like this alongside regular metallics.

OT: you should try to push your highlights up to near pure white.
