Basic colorscheme looks just right for s. Your paint's really crisp for a beginner! I should know, my red/silver smeared Necrons that I first painted... Let's just say they looked like I was dunking the miniature in the paint.

Hope you have a great time painting!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320921/2000579.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/320921/2000579.page GMT

As was already said, if you leave the recesses in the armor like where one armor plate touches the next with a black line, it will make it look like the blue plates are actually on them and have depth, not that they are blue all over. A quick and easy way to do this on your guys is to NOT highlight them yet. Get a pot of badab black wash ( or very watered down chaos black) and paint it over their armor. It will pool in the recesses for you and darken them. Then to highlight, take your original blue colour and either paint it on the plates leaving the recesses dark, or add a little white to it and do the same if you want them to be a little brighter than their current blue

I hope this does not sound patronising, I just think these models would look awesome with a little shading! Looking forward to seeing updates.
