Hi it\'s me again! I wasn\'t going to post this one here, cause it\'s just another mini, but then he went and won me first prize in the local GW store\'s painting competition and I was so excited, so here he is after all:

Tilean

(My SoB won second prize in the 40k category and I won the overall prize: A mega paintset! Too bad I\'m switching to Vallejo, hehe, but it\'s still great to have all those paints )

Very nice - I like his armour especially.

 

[Calavera]

That\'s some very nice work.. again.. and again :~(

I really like the red alot, that pink/white/reddish highlighting is great, care to tell how you did it ? I can never get it to work.
But yeah, it\'s some top quality work, I just think the boots could have used a bit more attention

Gave it a 9.

Thanks you guys!
@Calavera I just layerd/wetblended the colours I described in the picture description until it looked good. I glazed with (very) thinned Scab Red once in a while to smooth out the transitions. You\'re right about the boots, they need some more work. I just hate to paint boots, don\'t know why...

 

[Calavera]

Oh, uh yeah.. the comment underneath the picture.. ofcourse :duh::idea:

I\'m a get some VMC soon so i\'ll have to order those colors, I love the look.

I on the other hand, love painting boots, and anything I can paint brown too
Try this: painting the boots a basecoat of scorched brown, and add camo green for the highlights, and before it gets too green start adding bleached bone. This might liven up some boot painting, looks good too

I like the fire but it seems alittle too dark to be a fresh fire from a flamer. maybe a little yella and orange in there could be nice/*

WEll you\'re not only one that dosn\'t like to do boot astonia. I usually have a tendency to rush them too. I\'ll try calavera\'s advice and see if it make boot painting more enjoyable

Well, I commented on this mini a few days ago and all I want to add is that I\'m not surprised you won.
Congratulations!!! :bouncy::flip::bouncy:

I just hate to paint boots, don\'t know why...

I feel the same about boots, or basically feet in general. Can\'t say why, either. I just hate it, and I never have painted boots or feet that I\'m genuinely pleased with...

*edit* I used to put off painting the feet until there was nothing left to paint, but I have started to paint the feet early on. That helps a little...
