1. I'm looking to paint my Carcharadon like that dark grey (think batman) colors, but most paint schemes i see or have watched do them as like very SPRUE colored and i think it's just fething ugly. I'm also not looking to spend 6 hours a mini to SUPER highlight every last thing. If anyone has a good idea of what to try or do here i'm all ears.
2. Space Sharks use Terminators and terminators are not Primaris (that's what im running atm), i like the scaled look and just the look in general of the Alpha Legion Horus Heresy Terminators as that SCALEY look is kinda what i wanna aim for, would they look out of place with Primaris? And would this be runnable if i were to take it to a non LGS type area?
3.Tyberos is a fething BIG boy, but his model is okay? It doesn't feel big enough, is their a better/bigger version somewhere? idc if i have to buy it or have it 3d printed he's GOING to be in it with his Terminator bodyguards and i just want a better looking model and i'm not the greatest kit-basher.
4. Battle Damage - Space Sharks are ramshackled and thrown together , but I've never toyed with the idea of battle damage on my mini's. I've done like dirt n stuff, but never like a bullet pierce or denting, a tutorial or ideas would be great as I'm kinda at a loss on how to go about this.

Like always tips and help are appreciated and thank you for your time.

In terms of battle damage, you can us a pin vice and a small drill bit (1mm diameter or so) to make lines of bullet holes. If you want larger holes you can use a larger bit, or use a craft knife to scrape out the top to make more of a crater.

For near misses on corners and edges, you can use a knife to slice out a crease as if a bullet has slid along the surface.

For energy weapon hits you can get a good effect using a soldering iron, just be careful not to breathe in the smoke that comes off as raw styrene monomers are not good for your lungs.

For exploding impacts you can superglue on little bits of clump foliage and apply a bit of OSL.
