I have begun to play 40k for 2 years and I mainly play FB.

but I want your advice about my 40k model. so,I will take the photo and show you them.
please give me a couple of days to take photos.

thank you.

hi,guys. I'll show you some of my 40k models.

first is my main officer. it is my new work
his right hand has been changed to boltgun(from steelregion sergent).





next are my other officers.





last ones are scout walkers. they have been made of cardians but the pilots are valhallans.





all my 40k models have been painted so simply.
because I want to get more painting skill,please give me some advices
thank you.

I think they look good;

All the colours have been painted neatly.
All the colours are in the right place.
The colour scheme looks good on the miniatures.


I think that there are a couple of things you can do.

Use washes to help shade them. The colours are a little flat and bright.
Weathering on the scout walkers would look good. Now they look very new and clean.

I think it is a good start, well done

I agree with Spevna. Your models are nicely painted, very clean.
However, they will look better if you use some washes on them. GW's washes are pretty good and there are also some other good brands.
Practice on some old models first to improve your technique.

Hi Manjimaru,

Those guard are looking very good.

As others have said, try some citadel washes on them. Gryphonne Sepia Wash makes gold look good and Ogryn Flesh can help give faces some more detail (though you will need to highlight it again). Devlan Mud is good for adding shading to most things and Badab Black will make metals look more detailed.

Perhaps some unit markings on the Sentinels (for example, paint the numers 1, 2, 3) would look good.

Washes will really help your stuff, I think. For the white, use Asurmen Blue wash. This will keep a cold, icy feeling to the mini.

I think blue works very well for shading white...

[Manjimaru]

hi,guys. thanks for your advices.
you all recommend washes highly,I will try them.
I had no idea that using blueish colors for shading onto white.

and,I will try weathering vehicle.

when my new work will be finished,I will show it to you.
please give me more advices about it at that time.

thank you.

No problem, manjimaru I think it's really good that youre able to listen to advice and act on it. I'm looking forward to seeing your new-and-improved minis Good luck with the washes!
