hey that's quite a nice range of figures you got in your collection, would look better if they are based.

ic... well his got some nive looking necrons

not a bad converison and not a bad paint job. btw is the blood splashed on or drybrushed on?

Cheers

drybrushing is great, its quick and makes for a good looking paint job.

and here is a little something i painted a while ago, but one of my favorite models...



cheers

hey thanks! glad you like it.

yeh i prefer NMM myself, but I'm still practicing it. as for this model, I followed the masterclass article that was on White Dwarf and hence the free hand and metallics

well what you can do, which i have been testing recently is take a photo of the model while its under the light (best done with no paint on the model whatsoever). this will allow you to see how light is reflected from real metallics . then when you paint it on just use that photo as reference when you're trying to mimic that reflective property.

personally i find metallic colors to look better as they can provide much more contract, but on photos NMM definitely looks more better and clean.

yeh and you gotta have da flash off

I guess its all pretty even depending on how many points you want your starter army to be. The amount you spend is roughly the same with exception to necrons, if you're fielding an army of warriors. the only problem with guard or other low pts/model armies is the amount of painting time. Otherwise its all good.
