Hey all! I'm back after a long time, and realised what an I was back in the past, but hey, I was young, but sorry for anyone who interacted with me!

Anyway, I was just wondering on some opinions on these models, which I just finished painting up today, as I bought the basic set to start getting back into modelling and painting and wanted to hear how I could improve from here! Overall though, I'm chuffed with how they turned out as compared to my old, young, teenage attempts at modelling and painting, I actually put a lot of time into it Now I just get sad thinking about how much money I wasted in the past on those poor models Anyway, without further ado, enjoy!



Edit: Thought it might be worth adding a couple of other views! These are slightly more wip as its before I finished touching up the paint, so I do apologise for the less aesthetically pleasing look:

Lookin' good, ready to hit the tabletop!

Good stuff bud, if you don't mind a suggestion? I would throw a wash on it to bring out some of the details in the armor

Cheers! Any colour you’d recommend? The starter kit only came with Agrax Earthshade and I was hesitant to put it on the whole model’s armour as I thought a blue wash may suit better?

Unless you want to high light back up, I would suggest wash in the recesses only. Agrax can work that way and give a dirtier, used look (would probably match the muddy boots that way). Other wise you could use nuln oil (black) or Drakenhof Nightshade (blue). When I am working on characters, I will do an all over shade of drakenhof nightshade then recess shade nuln oil in the recesses when the first shade is dry. then I work on reestablishing the base and highlighting up.
